BREAKING: Gainsborough Trinity sack manager Dave Frecklington

He and his assistant Terry Fleming were relieved of their duties following the 5-0 defeat at Bradford Park Avenue on Monday night which leaves Trinity hovering just a point above the National League North relegation zone.

A statement issued by the club said: "The board of directors, led by chairman Richard Kane, have moved swiftly to give the football club the best possible opportunity of remaining in the Vanarama National League North with 13 games and 39 points up for grabs between now and the end of the season.

"The decision, however, has not been taken lightly due to some of the fantastic achievements Dave and Terry have overseen, keeping us up last season and winning the Lincolnshire County Cup under the lights at the Martin & Co Arena.
