Tadley Calleva announce the appointment of joint first-team managers at the football club

Tadley Calleva has announced that Joe Lawler and Ben Dillon will take over as joint first-team managers at the football club.

After a number of interviews with candidates, Tadley made the announcement on their Twitter page this morning (Thursday).

Lawler and Dillon have plenty of experience in the Combined Counties League, having been involved with Hartley Wintney, Badshot Lea and more recently Cove.

A statement on the Tadley Twitter page said: “They were clear with their plan for taking the club forward from our current position and with their longer term vision for the future.

“They will also be announcing additional coaching staff in due course, but in the meantime please join us in welcoming them both to the club.”

Tadley have had a difficult start to live in the Premier North division, having amassed just two points from their opening 10 league games.

The did, however, progress into the second round of the North Hants Senior Cup after a 4-1 home win over Whitchurch United on Tuesday.

Brett Denham (2), Brad Neal and Jordan Goater were all on the scoresheet in the victory.

Lawler and Dillon’s first game will be on Saturday, when they travel to CB Hounslow United in the league.
