Concord Rangers

It was always going to be difficult following the Concord Rangers side that finished in the playoffs in 2018/2019 or the team that reached the F.A Trophy final in the following campaign. Last season the Essex club returned to par compared to the seven years they have been in the National South. An inconsistent start, a barren spell then an upturn in form over March just about kept the Beachboys out of trouble. Home form was key last term with the best record of the teams outside the top seven. However, only Welling United had the worst defence and away record.

2021/2022 Season
National South: 14th
F.A Cup: 3rd Qualifying Round
F.A Trophy: 2nd Round
County Cup: Semi-Final
Top League Scorer: Danny Green (13 goals)

Manager – Chris Search

Concord Rangers promoted from within when they appointed Search as manager. Having worked closely with the first team when he oversaw the under 18’s side, the Beachboys decided he was the perfect fit for the club that had just seen their chairman step down. Search’s success at youth level was seen as a positive towards maintaining an identity for the club. It isn’t easy following in the footsteps of the Cowley brothers and Danny Scopes, who guided Concord Rangers to the F.A Trophy final. Yet in his first full season, Search was pretty much on course with the club’s previous finishes in the National South.
