GRAHAM Kemp has resigned as Dorchester Town boss after just four months in charge.

His decision to leave the club comes the day after the Magpies lost for the seventh time in eight league games.

A club statement issued this afternoon read: "It is with much regret that DTFC announce the resignation of Graham Kemp as team manager.

"Football is a results business and everyone accepts that recent results have not been good enough, despite some valiant performances.

"The board would like to thank Graham for his hard work, dedication and enthusiasm that he has shown during his time as manager.

"In particular he created a positive atmosphere within the club.

"If anybody deserves success in football it is Graham, the board sends him good wishes for the future.

"The board will meet this evening (Wednesday) to consider Graham's replacement."
