Young quits Robins

NEIL Young has resigned as Altrincham boss after just four months in charge.

The former Stockport County manager made his decision after the National League North side’s 4-2 home defeat against Curzon Ashton on Saturday – their third loss in a row.

Young has also announced his retirement from football management.

Alan Goodall, Jake Moult and Shaun Densmore will take temporary charge of team affairs, starting at Kidderminster today, while a replacement is sought.

Young said: “I believe it’s in the best interest of myself and, more importantly, the football club that I step down with immediate affect, and I also believe it’s the right time to ultimately retire from the dug-out.”

Salford City maintained their unbeaten start to the season with a hardfought 3-2 win over Gainsborough Trinity.

The Ammies were a goal down after four minutes, but hit back thanks to Simon Grand and then Mike Phenix and Billy Priestley.

The only goal of the game arrived 15 minutes from time when Gareth Dean’s effort seemed to be cleared off the line, but the assistant flagged for a goal.

Stalybridge Celtic lost 3-1 to Gloucester City at Bower Fold.

Celtic were 3-0 down after 33 minutes, with Steven Tames getting their only goal after 52 minutes.

Stockport County secured their first clean sheet of the season in a 0-0 draw at AFC Telford United.
