Macca frustrated by Alston Bombshell

Ben Alston has announced his departure from Nomads on the eve of Nomads return to Welsh Premier League Action.

Alston is Nomads longest serving player, having signed from Congleton Town in July 2007 and with 91 WPL appearances, he is also one of Nomads most experienced WPL defenders. He has trained with Nomads throughout the pre season period and played in most of the pre season games in preparation for Nomads return to the WPL, so boss Mark McGregor is understandably frustrated by the timing of Alston’s announcement.

Macca said: “I am sad Ben has left gap Connah's Quay but I am disappointed with him about the timing of his departure a week before the start of the new WPL season. He has only missed a handful of games since I have been here and I would have liked more time to find a replacement. Ben helped us win 2 league titles and reach a Welsh Cup semi final, and I thank him for that, but football moves on and the search for a replacement begins now"

Nomads’ first Welsh Premier League fixture is next Friday (17th Aug 19:45 ko) against Bangor City at ‘The book people stadium’ Nantporth and the club is subsidizing coach travel to the game. Some seats are still available, so to be sure of a place on the coach, email Trevor Green now.
