Hollands & Blair manager Scott Porter has left the club – seeking a new challenge. Porter had been with Blair since November 2021 and his last game in charge was on Saturday, leading the SCEFL Premier Division side to a 1-0 win over Sutton Athletic.
Porter has left along with his assistant Mark Lane and coach Shaun Welford as the management team seek out a new challenge. The outgoing manager felt he had taken the club as far as he could.
Last weekend’s Kent Senior Trophy quarter-final defeat to Croydon left Blair with little to play for this season - except staying clear of relegation trouble.
Harvey Welford scored Saturday’s winner against Sutton Athletic to leave them nine points above the drop zone. A Blair statement said: “The club would like to thank Scott and his management team for all their efforts while at the club.” Porter led Blair to a Senior Trophy final where they lost to Sheppey United before enjoying SCEFL Challenge Cup success against Fisher in May last year.
