SELBY Town management duo Bob Lyon and Gary Cygan are determined to bow out of Flaxley Road on a high note.

Manager Lyon has announced he will quit the Northern Counties East League premier division club at the end of the season.

Assistant boss Cygan is expected to leave with Lyon, citing work commitments as a bar to him moving into the hot-seat.

Now Cygan is determined that the pair’s final campaign should end in glory, with the Robins still in the President’s Cup and League Cup and riding high in the league.

“It would be good to go out on a high,” he said.

“Bob has put a hell of a lot into the club and Counties football, so that would be a good end for him.

“We are in two cup competitions and challenging in the top six in the league, so hopefully we can get a run going.”

Shedding some light on the reasons for Lyon’s departure, Cygan added: “It is nothing to do with the football side of things because we both feel we’ve got the best group of players we’ve had in 12 years.

“There are other things happening outside Bob’s influence.

“I will review my position towards the end of the season, but I am not interested in the manager’s job at the moment. The important thing is getting some results.”
