Knighton Town Chairman Gary Cooper has blamed a lack of commitment and injuries for the reason that the club have been forced to withdraw from the Tier 4 Welsh League.
A statement from Knighton Town Chairman Gary Cooper said:
“Knighton Town Football Club have been forced into pulling out of the Tier 4 League as soon as possible.
“It is with great sadness, frustration and anger that the decision has been made by the Committee of Knighton Town Football Club. We were left with no option, with our first team Manager standing down and long term injuries to 7- 8 of the first team squad, then resulting in losing other first team players so quickly, giving us no time to steady the ship and recoup.
“We thought this year was going to be our year with a good, young local group of players to move the club forward.
“There seems to be a lack of commitment and loyalty to rise above issues throughout the season and to roll up their sleeves and keep going. But we will not lie down and die, we will keep going, because there are a lot of people and supporters who want us to succeed.
“We apologise to all the other teams in the league and to our supporters and sponsors. Our aim is to give 100% to our Reserve Team and Junior Teams.”
