Ollie Drake announced his departure from the Thurlow Nunn Premier League side this morning.

Ollie leaves Goddy sitting mid-table in the League in what has been a heavily disrupted season due to the current global pandemic.

He has been at the helm at the David Wilson Homes Stadium since 2017 and overseen one of the most successful periods in the Club’s history.

Ollie delivered thanks to Chairman Karly Hurst and the Committee for giving him the chance to manage the Step 5 outfit following a successful time at Hardwick FC in the Kershaw Premier League.

Ollie said: "I have made a very conscious decision to step down as Godmanchester Rovers manager with immediate effect. This is not something I have taken lightly, however, I feel it is the right time to ensure the club has the opportunity to find a replacement ahead of the proposed re-start of the season on the 9th January.”

The Club would like to thank Ollie for all his efforts and commitment throughout his time at Bearscroft, in particular, our cup double-winning season and during these uncertain times of the COVID pandemic.

Karly Hurst said “ Ollie is one of a few good young managers, whom we at Goddy have been fortunate to have to manage the team over the last four seasons. I wish to thank him for all his efforts. I fully understand the tough decision that he has had to make and I would like to wish him every success in his future.

Like many other football clubs up and down our country, the impact of the current COVID-19 pandemic is hitting Godmanchester Rovers hard. Income has reduced to zero whilst expenses such as utility bills, ground maintenance, insurance and certifications still need to be paid.

"Some clubs may not survive this crisis, but we are determined to emerge from it in the best possible state. We are pulling out all the stops to ensure we can be there when matches resume, and continue the incredible success we have had with our youth, U18’s, Reserves and First Team structures."

Godmanchester Rovers FC is asking whether you could assist by donating as much as you can afford to help the club get through this challenging period and continue the great work we have had to temporarily abandon. Whether you are a dedicated Goddy fan or simply supportive of what we are trying to achieve, any size donation would be much appreciated.

"Godmanchester Rovers is an important part of the local community and a destination for many on a Saturday afternoon where we see parents with young children who enjoy the youth set up come and watch the first team in action. The club has a fantastic support from this community and beyond, and we want to make sure it survives and continue to thrive in bringing our national game to local boys, girls and adults in the future."

In addition, if your donation is of £10 or more, and you leave your details when you donate, we will give you free admission to our next home league match, whenever that may be.

This fundraising initiative will be open until the 31st May 2020 (or when the target is reached) when we hope to understand further the implications of the COVID-19 virus on non-league football.

EMIRATES F.A CUP – EXTRA PRELIMINARY ROUND

O.N CHENECKS (1) 2 v GODMANCHESTER ROVERS (1) 3

Chenecks; Burrows 8 Diamond 88

Godmanchester; Hall 32 Munro 63 Dawkin 78

A decent crowd turned out at Billing Road despite the almost torrential rain that decided to drench everyone half an hour before the kick-off and was to continue right up until the 60th minute mark.

The game kicked-off in pouring rain and Godmanchester were quick to settle with Jack Chandler causing problems down the right channel. They had got the ball into the box a few times in the early stages with Chandler’s whipped ball skidding across the face of goal just ahead of James Hall’s slide the most dangerous. On 8 minutes though Chenecks finally mounted an attack and good play in the box on the right saw a low ball played across keeper Niall Conroy and Nathan Burrows slid in to turn the ball home from less than a yard out. Against the run of play but Chenecks were one-up.
