James Panter, Bees' head coach, is to leave the club. James came to us in the 22-23 season following our promotion to Midlands Counties 3. He oversaw a promotion in that 1st season and a credible 5th place in Counties 2 Midlands West (East) this year.

James said "This was not a situation I anticipated, however circumstances change. Unfortunately my time at Bees is over. In the last few months circumstances have changed which means that I cannot commit in a way that I would like to commit to the club. Over the past couple of season, I've really enjoyed my time working with this group of players and watching them grow. I hope a league win and cup quarter final in my first season and a respectable league position this season are foundations that can be built on. Thank you to all the supporters, players and staff at the club. I wish you all the success."

The club wishes to express their thanks to James for his work over the last 2 years and to wish him every success in the future.
