Hampton & Richmond Borough have confirmed former Kingstonian manager Alan Dowson as their new manager.

The 44-year-old, who quit Ks in the summer, returns to management after joint managers Paul Barry and Darren Powell resigned in the wake of Saturday's 3-2 FA Cup first qualifying round defeat to VCD Athletic.

Chairman Steve McPherson said: "I believe we have the right man at the helm and I am absolutely sure that, given time, Dowse will bring exciting times to Hampton & Richmond Borough."
