Ian Draycott, Leatherhead to Folkestone. Didn't we make an offer for him last year? Excellent replacement for Ter Horst. In fact i see half of Leatherheads squad have done a runner. The excellent Tom Bradbrook to Dartford, Draycott and Smith to Folkestone, Jamie Coyle to Maidstone.
Sittingbourne have lost their joint managers and both strikers. Joe Taylor to Farnborough and Ryan Golding has followed the dumb and dumber combination of Jim and Danny Ward to Whitstable (cant wait to see those jokers again), who seem to be putting together a decent squad, with Ian Pullman also following from Ramsgate.
Redhill have been signing plenty to avoid another bottom 3 finish including Chamal Fenelon, who was once jailed for 5 years for attempted murder. I believe he once signed for Hastings but left before playing a game.
For those that haven't seen it the Ryman South team of the year has been picked. I hear Lee Carey had to be removed as he filled every position for 11 different teams!
