Three Bridges FC Manager Paul Faili has been appointed chairman of the team following the stepping down of Paul Terry.

After 19 years at the club, he was appointed at the club’s AGM on Friday and has the position on an interim basis.

He said that he is massively proud but that it’s not a position he wants permanently, adding that anyone who has the necessary experience and qualifications should come forward for the position.

Faili will be working with the same board, with youth manager Kenny Towning as his vice chairman.

In Cricket, Robin Peterson kept his nerve to steer Surrey to a three-wicket win over Worcestershire on Saturday and secure a place at the T20 Blast finals day. Set 142 to win, they wobbled to 128-7 before Peterson (24no) won the game with 21 balls left.
