Following the departures of Dan Bateman and Matt Eggleston from their managerial positions at Cherry Red Records Combined Counties League Premier Division North side Wokingham & Emmbrook, the club are advertising for a replacement.

The Sumas were promoted to step 5 in the summer and will kick off their season on August 7th at Easington Sports in the FA Cup.
