Football: Adams takes over at Studley; NON-LEAGUE NEWS.

LEE Adams has taken charge at Studley following Kevin Rowlands dismissal last week.

Previously in charge of neighbours Feckenham for the past five years, Adams will take his brother Glenn and physio Tim Guy with him as well.

Adams is no stranger to the Beehive having played over 600 games for Studley during a 14-year spell with the club.

His father John Adams was a former manager of Studley for a number of years as well.

Andy Smith had taken charge of Studley for last Saturday's 3-1 defeat to Market Drayton in a caretaker capacity following Kevin Rowlands exit along with his assistant Trevor Whittington.

Adams now has the task of trying to stop Studley's slump ahead of today's visit from Westfields and claimed: "After 14 years there as a player, I have a great affinity with Studley.

"It's a massive wrench to leave Feckenham, because I felt as though I haven't finished the job I started.

"But there are times when jobs come along that you cannot turn down."

Adams insists he has no plans to dismantle Feckenham's side, but is hopeful of tempting their goalkeeper Dave Gorton to join him.

And Adams is also chasing Stourport Swifts midfield man Mark Hands, while also having talks with Evesham United boss Paul West over the prospect of taking Adam Blake back to Studley on loan.
