Dundas becomes latest casualty

30 Sep 2015 By David Watters

Witton Albion manager Scott Dundas became the latest managerial casualty of the EVO-STIK Northern Premier League campaign on Monday night after his side's 4-2 defeat at home to Bamber Bridge.

Dundas, pictured, and assistant Wayne Brotherton left Wincham Park following the club's fifth defeat in 10 league outings. Appointed in the summer, former Stafford Rangers player Dundas guided the now-defunct Norton United to league, league cup and FA cup success in recent seasons.

Head of recruitment Paul Ogden, a former manager at Northwich Vics, Leek Town and Witton, will take temporary charge on Saturday for the visit of Ossett Albion in the FA Trophy's Preliminary Round.

A club statement said: “We would like to thank Scott and Wayne for their efforts on the club’s behalf. Whilst it is acknowledged that it takes time for a new team to settle, the board believe that performances, if not results, should have been much better with a top four playing budget.

"Attendances have fallen by half since the opening day of the season and it was felt that a change at this point was required.”
