Bircham lasted seven games as manager at Hemel before being sacked in 21/22 season. Done ok since at Leighton and Bedford Town.

Tony Fontenelle (Slough's Assistant Manager) has stepped down from his role.
Also with Lee Bircham now as manager at Hemel, he has brought in 2 of his staff from Bedford Town with him for assistant manager and S&C coach

One of which is David Noble, former St. Albans and Wealdstone manager.

Well he does like a challenge! He’ll need a complete rebuild of that squad. Interesting if his good mate Scott Davies poaches any players off him. And who might follow him from the Bev?

Alan Julian now confirmed as manager.

A lot of money been thrown at that squad so will be interesting to see what they can do at NLS. Their manager is ex Beaver Paul Johnson.

A very strong and ambitious team that will be a real force at this level. Plenty of NLS experience in their squad, with several former Dorking players and former Beavers Imran Uche and Ogo Obi. Matt Lovett is also their goalkeeping coach.

Uche and Obi not in the final squad today.

Just took a look at their squad and actually most of them have not played at Step 2 before.
