DANNY Bowers has confirmed his departure as manager of Sydenhams Wessex League outfit Folland Sports.

The Planemakers boss handed the reins to trusted right-hand man Dave Lewis earlier this season due to ill health and has since decided not to return.

Bowers said: "As time went on, I had less and less desire to return. The club always knew I had intended to go at the end of the season anyway. Everything comes to an end eventually.”
