Peaks told http://www.afcdiamonds.com: “I have been speaking with Neil for the past few weeks, he has come and watched some of our pre-season games and has some great ideas, I am sure he will be able to take on the great work that Lamby did on the training pitch and I look forward to working with him for the season ahead”.
