KEVIN Donovan will point the way forward for relegated Bridport at a club board meeting tomorrow.

Donovan, who offered his resignation after they dropped down from the Screwfix Direct Western Premier League last Saturday, says things need to change for the club to return to former glories.

He says it is make or break time for the Bees and will outline his ideas at tomorrow's meeting and then allow the committee to decide whether to follow them through.

Donovan who has been the club's manager since November, said: "While relegation is desperately disappointing for everybody at the club we now have the opportunity to rebuild for the future without the pressure that playing in the premier league brings."

Donovan can see plenty of teenage talent in the area that can make the grade with good coaching and a bucketload of commitment.

He uses former Perry Street players Tim and Tony Cunningham as prime examples.

Donovan said: "They have finally made the transition to being good Western League players but they will accept how hard they've had to work and how much they have learnt.

"They are an example of two young men who are trying to make the best of themselves. Now we need local players prepared to make the same effort."

To make this happen though he needs to be sure that the correct structure is in place behind the scenes.

He said: "You need to get people in the right habits while they are young. But it's very hard nowadays to get youngsters to be dedicated to football because there is so much else they could be doing.

The boss is not planning to make wholesale changes if he remains in charge next term and will invite his current squad back during pre-season.

"They deserve a chance to have

another go," he said.

"Dan Wise travels from Wincanton for training and nobody could have put more into it than he has. Hopefully local people have realised now how much they care."
