Newcastle Benfield have parted company with manager Alu Bangura.
Bangura took over from Paul Baker in September, but an anticipated challenge for the title didn't materialise, and after successive defests against Tow Law and Billingham Synthonia, Bangura submitted his resignation, which was accepted.
Perry Briggs, who until recently was assistant manager at Spennymoor, has now been appointed caretaker manager for the rest of the season.
