There were mixed emotions for Southbank this weekend as 3 hard earned points for the first team were over shaddowed by the news that Reserve Team Manager Wayne Woods has decided to step down from his duties because of family commitments.  Scouse had made the decision long before the 4-0 defeat away to Park Villa (click here for more details) as he felt he needed to spend more time with his daughter and less time with a bunch of sweaty unfit and hungover big kids.  Scouse has however made assurances that his face will still be seen on a regular basis at both games, and probably more frequently the 'Banks social events!

Everyone wishes Scouse well and I'm sure all understand his motives and thank him for all the hard work and effort he's put in over the last 18 months to keep the Reserves, and indeed the club as a whole, above water.  Former first team manager Mark Holton has agreed to step into Scouse's boots and take over running the Reserve team affairs.

Better news came out of Coley Park as Hightowers first team coped well with a number of changes from last weeks team to see off a capable Riverside team 4-3.  A third goal in two games for Jason Wagner got The 'Bank on their way before Olly Bradbury and Gavin Hill stretched the lead to 3-0.  A mini-crisis was averted and Benji Williams first goal of the season was enough to protect the three points (click here for more details).

Elsewhere Barton Rovers followed up their opening day victory to beat Henley Town Res 2-0 and sit at the top of the League, matching Southbanks 100% record.
