Kendal Uniteds First and Reserve Teams are back in action as they hope for a full league season following on from all the disruption caused by Covid 19.
The First Team have undergone a few changes both on and off the pitch where Richard Close has taken over as the manager replacing Simon Hansen who decided to stand down. The Club will miss Simon who has done so much over a long period of time, both on and off the pitch.
Richard steps up after being the assistant coach, while he has great experience following managerial spells at clubs such as Milnthorpe Corinthians. We wish Richard all the best and it was pleasing to see team start with a dramatic 3-2 win at Garstang.
The Reserves have also undergone a managerial change with Matt Wightman taking over from James Pattison who decided to stand down and focus on playing. James like SImon has been fantastic for the Club, a cup win and a runners up finish in the Junior Cup are some of the highlights.
However the team have been unfortunate not to have been promoted with Covid 19 denying them the opportunity to go up!
