Nantwich Town Football Club to rebuild after relegation escape

By Matt Richardson

Nantwich Town Football Club had a lucky escape from relegation this season, but Chairman Jon Gold says that won’t stop the dabbers from rebuilding this summer.

Nantwich went in to the final game of the season against promotion chasing Cowlyn Bay knowing a draw or win would guarantee safety in the Evo Stick Premier League.

A 2-0 defeat ensured an uncertain night for both club and fans.

Fortunately, results in other games went in the Dabbers favour and secured their safety.

After a poor start of the season, former Ireland international footballer, Jimmy Quinn returned to the club as manager to change their fortunes.

“I’m relieved to stay up, to be honest; we could not get our game going,” Quinn admitted.

A run of positive results early on raised hopes. But, as the pressure built on the team they were dragged back into a relegation battle.
