The winds of change
Dennis Lightning has stepped down early as the boss of Ely City, although he was going to at the end of the season. However, his move upstairs was expediated by the new regieme bringing in 3 new players without telling him. This idea seemed to have bak fired on Saturday when Ely lost 2-1. However Trevor Munns was the talk of the town after the Robins beat high flying Leiston on Tuesday night (even though that town seems to be Newmarket as only the Newmarket journal covered the match, neither of the Ely papers seemed to have bothered with it).
Munns who used to be the boss of local rivals Mildenhall seemed to have changed the culture of the club over night and there were no long throws, pointless off side trap or hoofing it up the field, much to Ben Lawrence's dad's chagrin, as this meant his son was dropped and that he probably won't be getting back in the team. Funnily enough he seemed resigned to the fact (his dad) as when he wasn't slagging off Munns to us he was chatting up the Littleport manager.
Anyway Robbie Mason was back and it was his goal on 11 minutes that separated the 2 sides, although the Robins could have had more and Brady Stone was on good form.
Next up for Ely is Mildenhall on Bank Holiday Monday. Mildenhall have lost 7 on the bounce, but they too have just recruited a new manager. The new boss being ex Birmingham and Bolton defender Simn Charlton. It should be a good game if we can get the car boot sale out of the ground, although I might be tempted to get some 'new' furniture before kick off.
