Girvan looking for new manager as duo resign after back-to-back thrashings

Girvan are this week looking for a new boss after Matt Maley's resignation.

It's all change at Hamilton Park with gaffer Maley and assistant manager Robert Love calling it quits following Saturday's 5-0 humbling at the hands of Ardrossan Winton Rovers.

The duo leave the Seasiders in ninth place in the West of Scotland League Third Division with nine points from six games.

Girvan are nine points adrift of joint-leaders Kello Rovers and Lesmahagow Juniors and travel to Maybole for an 'El Carricko' derby clash in the second round of the South Challenge Cup this Saturday.

Maley was appointed to the Hamilton Park hot seat in May 2021 and previously told how it would take time to get the club moving in the right direction.

However, a mixed start to this campaign has seen Maley and Love depart with Girvan FC saying in a statement last night: "We would like to thank them for their hard work and wish them the very best for the future."

Girvan headed to Winton Park at the weekend looking to bounce back from a 6-0 thrashing by Premier Division Pollok in the preliminary round of the Scottish Cup.

But Ardrossan ran riot with Kieran Balfour and Andrew Wilson both seeing red as Girvan finished a miserable afternoon with nine men.
