Shaymen's end-of-season awards evening cancelled after Lakeland departure
FC Halifax Town’s end-of-season awards evening has been cancelled in the wake of manager Adam Lakeland’s shock departure to Morecambe.
Lakeland guided Town to eighth place in the National League this season but has become the new manager at Morecambe, who were relegated into the National League North, their second consecutive relegation.
The news came just 24 hours before Lakeland and his squad were due to appear at the club’s end-of-season awards event, which had been organised by the Halifax Town Supporters Club.
In a post on Facebook, they said: “Unfortunately due to today’s announcement the Presentation Event at the Shay has been cancelled. Sorry for any inconvenience this has caused.”
