Carterton chairman Nick Truman has resigned after 12 years at the Sport Italia Hellenic League Premier Division club, because of a lack of support.

Truman said it was after consulting his family and friends that he decided to call it a day.

"Over the past few months, I have become increasingly frustrated and disappointed with the lack of support both from the adult players at the club and also the parents of the youth players.

"Unfortunately, over the past few weeks, the pressure has started to affect my health."

Vice-chairman and secretary, John McCarthy will run the club until January 10 when an EGM will be held.
