I am
pleased to announce that the Senior Management line up for
Season 2010-11 will be as follows:
1st Team
Manager - Graeme Banyard
Asst. Manager/GK Coach - Dave Tidy
Asst. Manager - Glyn Mandeville
Head Coach - Tony Knight
Physio - TBC
I am pleased to welcome Tony and Glyn to the Club, who join
from Bookham. They are two good guys who have worked great
things there and I believe deserve to step up a level. Tony
is in the process of completing his UEFA 'A' coaching
licence, is very professional in what he does and very good
at getting his views over to the players. They have already
fitted in superbly and I am looking forward to working with
them as the season goes on.
Mark Honess
will continue to work alongside me in the 1st Team and will
be going out more to watch future opposition and potential
players, something that will be vital for us if we are to
move forward as a Club.
Unfortunately we have lost the services from last season of
Barry Moore and physio Carrie McEwen. Barry has moved on to
Conference South club Bromley as 1st Team Coach and I wish
him all the best, he's a fantastic coach and a great bloke.
Carrie has been offered a good job outside of football which
would limit her involvement with us. She has been a great
help to me over the last few years and I also wish her the
very best in the future
Reserves
Manager - Paul Elsey
Asst. Manager - Bob Hemstead
Head Coach - Andy Martin
After having a great season with the Under 18s last year
Paul, Bob and Andy will have great knowledge of the
youngsters we have coming through the Club. This will be a
major plus in giving the younger lads their first taste of
Senior football.
Under 18s
Manager - Daryl O'Bryne
Asst. Manager - Trevor Smith
Asst. Manager - John Targett
Head Coach - Patrick Noirette
It is pleasing to see Daryl, Trevor and John step up from
running their Merstham Youth teams to take charge of the
U18s. Again they will know many of the good youngsters
coming through our fantastic Youth setup which will be vital
as the boys step up a level into a better standard of
football in the Southern Youth League . I also believe we
have made a key acquisition in appointing Patrick as Coach.
He is also involved with the Surrey U18 side which can only
benefit us in many ways.
Pre-season started last Saturday 26th June and was attended
by roughly 140 players! It was an amazing turnout and
certainly one that had to be seen to be believed! The first
couple of sessions have gone well, we have obviously started
to lower the attendees in preparation of looking at players
in friendlies and finalising our Squads for the season
ahead.
