.....Evo-Stik Southern League Premier Division South club following the departure of manager Leigh Robinson and his assistant Michael Meaker.

 

The pair have shocked both the club and fans by taking up similar jobs with Vanarama National League side Truro City.

 

But Sturmey said: "What we need to do now is re-focus and keep moving forward. Rob Dray and Matt Villis have taken charge of team affairs with therapist Dave Lukins, so not a lot has changed.

 

"I have total faith in Rob and Matt, plus the players are so focused on their football. Rob and Matt are an integral part of the management team as is Dave, so we move on.

 

"Sometimes a perceived setback can turn in to a positive as our structure perhaps needed tweaking, both on and off the pitch. We aren't inventing the wheel, we just need to fine tune it.

 

"I'm sure there will be a lot of people interested in coming to the Viridor Stadium. We are one big family here and I believe those values will stand us in good stead to bring in the right person or people to add to what we already have.

 

"We are in a great position, having worked so hard to be where we are and we will make the right decisions moving forward as football and sport is so different to the old days.

 

"The club's board would like to place on record their thanks and appreciation to both Leigh and Michael for leading the club to arguably its most successful period in its history”.
