LYME Regis interim manager Rob Fellingham has revealed he is likely to continue in his role until the end of the season.

Fellingham, joined by interim assistant Luke Clifton, was named caretaker after Lyme parted ways with manager Julien Simier.

Fellingham oversaw the 2-0 win over Okehampton Seconds before falling 3-2 at Sidmouth Town Seconds on Saturday.

Speaking to the Bridport & Lyme Regis News, he said: “My understanding from speaking to the committee is that for the rest of the season it will be as is.

“We’ll reassess where we are in the summer. I’ve got Luke doing it with me, who’s a very familiar and experienced face.

“So the rest of the season we’ll keep the players we’ve got and just a little continuity.

“We’ve still got quite a few tough games to go and there’s a lot of the top half that we haven’t played.

“I’m very much looking forward to it, it will be interesting to see how we get on.”

Fellingham’s men are now fourth in the Devon & Exeter League Premier Division after losing to the Vikings.

That was despite taking the lead through Brad Rowe, who latched onto a long ball from Dan Beer before sliding home a finish inside 60 seconds.

Sidmouth took the ascendancy at half-time with an equaliser from Frank Long and a second from Will Jenkins in the space of two minutes.

Lyme saw good chances for youngster Ethan Matthews and Rowe go to waste, while Sidmouth also hit the post.

However, a lucky break for Lyme came when Steve Batey was best placed to hammer home the rebound after Rowe’s cross struck the bar.

But the Vikings were only dragged level for a matter of minutes as Jenkins hit the winner.

Fellingham said: “We never really got going and it didn’t quite click on the day.

“It was quite bitty, quite scrappy. We never passed the ball particularly well and invited pressure by giving the ball away.

“As soon as they got their equaliser, the momentum swung their way.”

Lyme visit second-placed University of Exeter Seconds on Saturday (3pm).

Lyme: Higgs, A Rowe, G Knight, Beer, Rawlins, Garrett, Fellingham, Bailey (Daines), Batey (M Knight), Matthews, B Rowe.
