McMahon in charge at Mayplace

Phoenix Sports announced (whilst we were on holiday) that their new manager is Keith McMahon. Keith replaces Steve O'Boyle, who departed on May 9th.

McMahon spent some time at Mayplace working with O'Boyle last season, so will be in familiar surroundings.

Keith previously spent five years- from May 2015 to June 2020- in charge a few hundred yards away at VCD Athletic. Prior to his time at Oakwood he managed Thamesmead Town, and indeed was a big part of the club for eleven years, steering them to promotion from the Kent League and then to another promotion to our Premier Division, his side winning a famous penalty shootout over Maldon & Tiptree in the 2012-13 North Division Playoff Final.

After leaving Vickers he spent time in charge of Whitstable Town.
