Callington Town’s Carlsberg South Western League manager Dean Cardew has left the club with immediate effect.

This followed an amicable discussion with club chairman Steve Woolley on Thursday morning.

Mr Woolley said: ’Dean has decided to step down as manager of our first team which we have reluctantly agreed to.

’We would like to put on record our thanks to Dean for all his hard work this season.

’Although his foray into SWP management has been brief we are sure he will enjoy a long career in management in the future.

’The club are putting in place alternative arrangements in time for Saturday’s trip to Tavistock and we are confident that a new management team will be announced shortly.’

On Wednesday night, Dan Cole stepped down as manager of Torpoint Athletic, the club Cardew left to join Callington in the summer.
