them to promotion to the Honda Division last season before stepping
down last week. Davies said: 'I have enjoyed my spell as manager but
work committments nean I will not be able to give as much time in the
future. It's great news to have Geoff Whittall back in charge of the
club and it's all systems go for next season."
