Henderson staying at Ramblers

Stephen Henderson will be in charge of Cobh Ramblers for tonight’s EA Sports Cup tie against Longford Town after last night withdrawing his intention to resign.

On Sunday, the 51-year-old had informed the committee of the First Division club of his plan to quit with immediate effect but a crisis meeting with the hierarchy ensured a dramatic 48 hours ended with some stability.

Henderson, in his second stint as boss of the Rams, looked to be on the brink of walking out after cutting a frustrated figure following Saturday’s league defeat to Longford Town. It was the third straight loss for the team — which finished second ìn last year’s First Division — and a sixth loss in total from their opening 10 matches.
