An
official statement from the club reads: “It is with deep regret and great
sadness that we have advised the Ebac Northern League that Ryhope CW FC wish to
tender their resignation from the Northern League, this is obviously not a
decision that has been taken lightly but is the consequence, in the main, of
the lack of volunteer support for our club playing at the level we are at on
the field coupled with the ongoing demands of the League standards required off
the field.
“The
club needs to restructure to continue its long history, but we recognise this
must be done at a lower level to enable it to grow again with fresh impetus,
leadership and firm foundations.
“We
are deeply saddened to be left with what we see as our only viable option for
Ryhope CW FC to continue.
“We
wish to put on record sincere thanks to all the volunteers that have helped the
club over the last few seasons and particular thanks goes to the management and
playing staff for the most successful season the club has experienced during
the 2021-2022 season culminating in winning the Durham FA Challenge Cup.”
A
spokesman for the league said: “We can confirm that we have received Ryhope
CW’s resignation from the league. We are
consulting with the FA about the effects of this decision so can’t comment
further at this stage.
“We
are sorry to receive the resignation and wish the club all the best for the
future”. |
