Following Hendon's defeat in the FA Trophy against Ramsgate today, first-team manager Gary McCann offered to resign. A long meeting with Hendon FC officials followed and Mr McCann was asked to reconsider his position.

It was agreed that Mr McCann would take two weeks' leave of absence from Hendon Football Club to reconsider his position and he will make a final decision at the end of that period.

In the interim, Mr McCann's assistant, Freddie Hyatt, has been appointed caretaker manager of Hendon FC.
