May 7 2008 by Our Correspondent, Birkenhead News

VAUXHALL Motors manager Carl Macauley expects the majority of his squad to remain at Rivacre Park following the clubs relegation from the Blue Square North into the Unibond Premier Division.

But the exceptions are Peter Heler, who was signed from Alsager Town, wants to find a club closer to his Potteries home, along with defenders Joe McMahon and Craig Robinson.

The Motors boss can expect the likes of long-serving Alan Griffiths, Ged Brannan, Mark Maddox, Lee Owens, Lee Dames, Jordan Holmes, Ashley Williams, Jonathan Egerton, Keith Smith, Tom Hannigan, Paul Taylor and Thomas Carroll to be on board for the new challenge, as well as goalkeeper Lloyd Rigby.

Joining Macauley on the sidelines will be former striker Anthony Wright, who will be his assistant, having spent most of this season with Colwyn Bay.
