Change of Boss at Moorlands
5th February, 2010
There has been a change of management at struggling KoolSport NCEL Premier Division side, Lincoln Moorlands Railway.
Darren Dye has left the club following a committee meeting on Tuesday evening and has been replaced by former Lincoln United assistant manager, Chris Moyses.
Moyses takes over a Newark Road side who are currently next-to-bottom of the division, five points behind Shirebrook Town who are eighteenth but with four games in hand.
His assistant will be Baz Barker who was alongside him at Lincoln United as a coach.
Their first match in charge is a trip to title challengers Rainworth Miners Welfare on Tuesday evening.
Moorlands Targeted By Thieves Again
2nd January, 2010
Lincoln Moorlands Railway have suffered their second break-in of the last month.
Thieves entered their Newark Road ground last night and attempted to steal the gas boiler by ripping it off the wall along with pipework.
It follows a burglary in the middle of December when copper piping was stolen from the dressing rooms.
Police are appealing for information.
Railway Set For Quick Return Home
23rd December, 2009
Lincoln Moorlands Railway are hopeful that their next home game will go ahead - that is despite a recent break-in at their ground.
Thieves stole thousands of pounds worth of copper piping last week which led to the changing rooms being flooded.
The match officials' showers were also pulled off the wall.
Work will take place next week to fix the damage, meaning that their Premier Division match against visitors Winterton Rangers on Saturday 2nd January should go ahead as planned.

Railway Hit By Copper Thieves
17th December, 2009
Lincoln Moorlands Railway's home league match with Nostell Miners Welfare next Tuesday has been called off due to a break-in at the club.
Thieves entered the changing rooms at the Newark Road ground yesterday, stealing all the copper piping which has also led to standing water throughout the dressing room.
The referees' showers had also been pulled from the wall.
The damage caused is estimated to be around ?2,000 and insurance assessors are coming to inspect the damage over the next couple of days.
As well as next week's game, the following home match with Winterton Rangers on January 2nd is also under threat but a decision about that fixture will be made once the timescale for repairs is known.
