BIBURY FC, who have secured their status in the Glos Northern Senior Division One, will have a new manager for next season in Andy Ealey.

Bibury spokesman Les Smith said: "This is Andy's first managerial position after working as a development officer at Swindon Town for seven years.

"He has plenty of coaching badges and he just wants a shot at management so we are happy to give him a go."

Bibury have become used to almost unparalleled success in recent campaigns with a rise through the leagues, but they finished a disappointing 2016/17 season with a 0-0 home draw against relegated Bredon on Saturday.

Pre-season training will start at the club early in July and all players old and new are most welcome.
