HAMPSHIRE Premier League Division One newcomers Lyndhurst are on the lookout for a new manager.

Dave Elgram, who has been at the club for a decade in various capacities, is stepping down due to work commitments after leading the New Forest side to the Hampshire League 2004 title.

A club statement said: “The committee and players of Lyndhurst FC would like to thank Dave for his considerable efforts since he joined us in 2002. “He has almost single-handedly carried the club on and off the pitch for the last five years since our previous chairman Melvyn Farmer left us.

“Dave’s enthusiasm and commitment have been second to none and will be sorely missed.”

Applications can be made in confidence to club secretary Mike Thomas (023 8073 6367 or 07779 031060).
