Shifnal Town
Coalville Town sweetened the pill somewhat! Following the resignation of Darren Goodall at the end of the 2008 -9 season, Delwyn Humphreys took the managerial reins for the 2009-10 season, however his stay proved to be a short one for in October 2009 he accepted a position as assistant manager at Hednesford Town. John Wilson who was Delwyn’s No.2 at Shifnal was promoted to take the position of manager. Following a poor run of results, John parted company with the club, to be replaced by former player Matt Flanagan in December. After more years of struggling in the West Midland Premier League, at the end of the 2014-5 Shifnal finished second bottom and were relegated to Division One. Matt Flanagan resigned due to business commitments, and Mark Wells assisted by Kevin Thompson took over from the beginning of the 2015-6 season . The league campaign proved to be a success story with Shifnal Town being crowned Division One champions, wining the title by 9 points ahead of second placed Hereford Lads Club, winning 25 games and losing just one match allowing an immediate return to the Premier Division. After two seasons in the Premier League Mark Wells resigned as manager at the end of season 2017-8. Mark Simpson was appointed as manager last season assisted Kevin Thompson. The Town had a disappointing season narrowly avoiding relegation, this led to another managerial change, The management team of Danny Carter and Andrew Carrier taking over for this season after being recruited from Wednesfield after a very creditable fifth placed finish in their first season in the Division. Carter and Carrier have recruited well in the summer, securing one the Midlands most prolific frontmen in Tom Hill, along with a number of players that were an integral; part of last season’s Wednesfield’s squad. This season is like no other, with four promotion places available into presumably the Total Motion Midland Football League every team seems to be investing heavily to try and finish in one of the promotion slots. The season started really well last weekend at Shifnal’s Acoustafoam Stadium when the Town won comfortable 4-1 against Cradley Town.. 28
