Adam Kerswell back in the Dawlish Town hot-seat

FORMER Galmpton Gents manager Adam Kerswell has abandoned his planned 12-month break from football to concentrate on what he calls 'unfinished business' at Dawlish Town.

Kerswell has started his second spell in charge at Sandy Lane this week after a drastic cut in the 2010-11 playing budget forced the Seasiders to part company with last season's manager Jeff Evans and assistant Chris Porter.

Chairman Dave Fenner said the decision to release Bristol-based Evans and Porter was purely a financial one.

"It's nothing to do with Jeff's or Chris's ability to do the job," said Fenner. "It's all about finance.

"At the end of the day we've got to look at every option we've got in terms of keeping the budget down to minimums.

"I hate talking about money but it's a fact of life in the world we're in."

Kerswell succeeded Chris Myers in June 2008 and guided Dawlish to the top of the Toolstation Western League during his first spell at Sandy Lane, which came to an end after just four months when he stepped down for personal reasons.

After leaving Carlsberg South West Peninsula League side Galmpton at the end of last season, Kerswell had planned to take a year out.

But he says the opportunity of a second Western League challenge with Dawlish was too good to turn down.

"I was very keen to take it as I feel I've got a bit of unfinished business there," said Kerswell.

"I had a bit of a difficult time there before, and I feel like making amends and helping the club out with their current financial constraints.

"It's a club I know very well. There's a considerable difference from the last time I was there, but that's a sign of the times really.

"Some players have moved on to bigger and better things, like Joe Bushin who I brought to the club originally.

"Some are probably leaving for healthier expenses that we haven't got.

"I know it's going to be hard but I'm looking to get some good up-and-coming players in.

"I've got two or three possible signings, but we will need to dot the Is and cross the Ts."

Kerswell will be joined at Sandy Lane by his Galmpton assistant Andy Hill, while midfielder Gary Fisher will help out as player-coach.

Defender Craig Fenner and midfielder Dean Stevens are also expected to continue with Dawlish.

Former boss Evans, meanwhile, has refused to comment until his departure from the club has been completed officially.

The draw for the Les Phillips Cup for Season 2010/11 was made at the Leagues AGM.
