The trio will take the side forward in to the 2017/18 season and their return to the Southern League after a 12 year absence. West, who is in his second spell as manager and his eleventh concurrent year, is looking forward to the challenges of the Southern League. Blaik, who has been Assistant Manager for the last 4 years, said: “Winning the Hellenic League this season has been an amazing achievement for everyone involved at the football club. It is a very tough league and you have to win it to guarantee promotion. We only had a very small squad of players and we were very fortunate with injuries.

“All the lads have been absolutely terrific and they deserve a chance at the next level. All the players have committed to being with us again next season which made our decision to continue an easy one. Of course we will be looking to improve the squad if we can over the next few weeks. At the moment were are all enjoying being the champions but excited about playing in the Southern League next season.”

In his report on the Thame FC website, Chairman, Jake Collinge said: “McCluskie will continue to bring his wealth of coaching experience to the side, knowledge that was integral to the success last season.”

Pre-season training will commence on Tuesday, 27th June, with the finishing touches currently being put to the pre-season schedule.
