Merridue named new Clymping chairman
Departing Dejan Stostic resigned from the position earlier in the year due to increased work commitments and Merridue aims to progress Southern Combination League Division 2 Clymping.
Merridue, a committee member of Littlehampton Town Youth Football Club, is firmly focused on developing young talent and looking to start an under-18’s team at Clymping.

Hide AdHe said: “I was approached by Daniel (Lawrence; Clymping manager) because his previous chairman stepped down due to work commitments, so I agreed to step in.
“I’ve always had an interest in local football, so it was a good opportunity for me to get more involved.
“There is only East Preston under-18’s or otherwise you have got to travel to Worthing or Chichester, which are trips some people can’t make.”
“There is a lot of good talent out there on the youth side of it.
“They haven’t got to travel and they’ve got another option to play locally.”
