Magpies appoint Flack and Watt in joint charge
PENZANCE AFC have appointed former Truro City reserve team bosses Robin Watt and Steve Flack as new joint managers of the club's Carlsberg SWPL Premier Division side.
Flack, who turned out for Wimbledon's youth team and Woking during his playing career, had a short spell in charge of Division One West side Wadebridge Town last season before being replaced by Mark Menhinick in November.
Watt's most recent spell in management was at Jolly's Combination League side Wendron United, who he led to a respectable mid-table finish last season.
The duo take over the reins at Penlee Park from Gary Marks, whose second spell in charge of the Magpies was ended by mutual consent after a turbulent 2011-2012 campaign dogged by injuries saw the club narrowly avoid finishing in the bottom two.

“UPDATE - Holmans earn reprieve: At Thursday night's Jolly's Combination League AGM, clubs voted to increase the league by one club. That means Holmans SC will NOT now be relegated, despite the Combo officials allegedly informing the Trelawny League officials that both Penzance and Holmans would be relegated. It is understood that the Trelawny League will meet again on Tuesday to decide whether to run with 15 clubs in the Premier League or promote another club, which would then probably apply to all divisions.”
