BRITBALL WISHES ALL ITS READER A HAPPY NEW YEAR
Derby Storm have parted company with coach Steve Tucker. The 40 year old
American has had to return to the USA to help resolve a chronic back
condition, and also made strong criticism of the League and some of the
personalities within it. Former Derby coach Jeff Jones returns to the
club as Tucker's replacement for this weekend initially.
Full interview with Steve Tucker in today's Britball Magazine.
Dungannon have parted company with their American Todd McNeil. McNeil is
believed to be speaking to a number of teams in Dublin.
