Cugley steps down at Invicta

Folkestone boss Neil steps down after twentysix years.

Folkestone Invicta have just released the news that manager Neil Cugley has stepped down from his role with immediate effect after twenty -six seasons and more than thirteen hundred games at the helm.

The, now former, boss has released a statement, which can be found on the club website.

Invicta currently sit in sixteenth place in the Pitching In Isthmian Premier. During Neil's time as boss they have been an almost continual presence in the upper reached of the Pitching In Isthmian Premier- apart from a few years when they were a continual presence in the upper reaches of Isthmian South, as it then was. They've reached the Fourth Qualifying Round of the FA Cup five times, the First Round once, and of course last season reached the Fourth Round of the FA Trophy after previously reaching the Third Round three times.

Neil is not only an Invicta legend but an Isthmian legend. We'd like to thank him for all of his endeavours, both inside and outside the dugout, and send our very best wishes to him for the future.
