The Captain of Heyford Athletic Reserves Will Dunkley leaves the club after “embarrassing” team performance last weekend.

This comes after the reserves lost 5-0 at home to Woodford Wolves First on Saturday afternoon.

“Will is a fantastic player and of course we don’t want to lose him, we understand his frustration but if he does not want to stay then we cannot force him to,

“I have seen him play both on a Saturday and a Sunday and he definitely plays better on a Sunday with Hawks.” Says Sam O’Sullivan Barker.

The club will now look for a new captain and is expected to be announced before the game next weekend.

There were many options for the goal of the year candidate for Heyford Athletic Reserves with some absolute cracking strikes out there this year but only one could take the prize.

This is what Liam Bailey-Shaw had to say about his thoughts on the team at the moment.

“I am obviously looking forward to seeing what the boys can produce and see how they play as a team on the big occasions,

“You know the results haven’t been the greatest so far and the league table does show that but I am here to try and change that all around and help the team get better as the season goes on.”

After we asked Bailey-Shaw what his thoughts were ahead of the game against close relegation rivals Great Doddington First.

“It’s a must-win game really we have to start the game fast and try and just hit them and show what we have as a team,

“If we manage to beat them we can go 4 points clear which would be huge in the grand scheme of how the table will look.”

So the big question at the end of the day is will Bailey-Shaw manage to change the team around and get them back to winning ways, well only time will tell.
