Ex-Grantham managers sacked

Former Grantham Town joint-managers Jimmy Albans and Wayne Hallcro have been sacked by Belper Town.

It follows a string of six defeats in seven games, which left them 18th in the Evo-Stik League First Division (South). 

Albans left Grantham for the Belper manager’s role in November last year and was joined by Hallcro, as his assistant, in February but they failed to prevent Belper  being relegated from the Evo-Stik Premier Division.

Chairman Alan Benfield said: “It’s a shame that things haven’t worked out for Jim and Wayne, but a record of only six wins out of the last 33 games speaks for itself.”

The pair joined Grantham in 2009 but left  in 2013 only to return a year later for a short spell.
