Benjamin and Byrne leave Vics

VICS have cut two members of their playing squad due to the current financial situation hitting the club.

Trevor Benjamin and Michael Byrne are the players that have been shown the door.

Benjamin only joined Vics on October 10 after leaving Hereford United at the end of last season.

Byrne has been at the club since February 2005.

Stand-in manager Mike Marsh said the club had no choice.

"Due to the financial situation at the club we have had to release the both of them", he said.

"It's disappointing and it's not nice to put people out of work.

"It is part of the cost cutting exercise at the club and unfortunately part of that is to get players off the wage bill and Michael and Trevor were the ones decided on."
