Southern League News - Robinson And Meaker Depart Taunton Town FC
Taunton Town FC can confirm an approach has been made for Manager Leigh
Robinson and Assistant Manager Michael Meaker to take over at Truro City.
Following discussions between the two parties, the club was informed this morning,
4th September, that Leigh and Michael’s desire is to accept the White Tigers offer,
which sadly ends their time with Taunton Town Football Club.
The club’s board would like to place on record their thanks and appreciation to both
Leigh and Michael for leading the club to arguably its most successful period in its
history. Moving forward, it is our strong belief that continuity will continue the club’s
recent successes. First Team Coaches Rob Dray and Matt Villis will take control of
all First Team affairs effective immediately.Evo-Stik League South Premier Division South - as at 1 Sept
