NEW MANAGEMENT LINE UP FOR BIGGLESWADE UNITED
There will be a new man in charge at Biggleswade United for the 2015/16 season. Cristian Colas Becerra who is a third level UEFA Pro Licence holder brings with him a wealth of experience. He has coached at CD Masnou and CE Europa in his native Spain who play in their equivalent of League Two. He was also Academy Chief at Segunda Division CE Sabadell before moving to Finland where he was Head Coach of Division Three side PKKU. He will be assisted by Fran Constancio (also Head of the club's Academy) and Alfie Long (who joins from Bush Hill Rangers) who is currently the youngest UEFA B licenced coach in England. It's exciting tiumes at Second Meadow following ex Chelsea midfielder Enrique De Lucas playing for the first team last season and well respected football journalist Guillem Balague being Director of Football.
PEARMAN NEW MANAGER OF HATFIELD TOWN
Kevin Pearman is the new boss of Hatfield Town after Ashley Purser left the club at the end of last season. Pearman had been in charge of Hatfield Social who had been very successful in the Hertfordshire Senior County League - it was fitting his last game in charge of Social was the Aubery Cup Final victory against Standon and Puckeridge.
GREGSON STEPS UP AT BALDOCK TOWN
Luke Gregson is the new manager at Baldock Town following Scott Grant stepping down after five successful seasons in charge of the club. Dean Gilbert will assist Gregson - both have a wealth of playing experience in local football having represented the likes of Arlesey Town and Hitchin Town as well as Baldock Town. The club will play at Stotfold from next season following three season's ground sharing at Hitchin's Top Field.
