Following today’s statements from Folkestone Invicta and ourselves that Jay Saunders is to become Folkestone’s manager from next season, it has been mutually agreed that he will, along with his management team, Lloyd Blackman and Tom Parkinson, leave with immediate effect.

Scott Wagstaff, assisted by Adam Deadman, will be taking the team for Saturday’s visit from Farnborough.

Sophie Purves commented: “We thank Jay, Lloyd and Tom for all their efforts and wish them the best for the future. It’s been a real pleasure working with them all.”
