Tony Beckingham has resigned as manager of County League division one side Lingfield.

Beckingham, who joined in the summer, cited a combination of reasons but mainly a lack of support off the field. He said: “The job wasn’t what I was led to believe but it is any number of things and I can’t see where I can take the club.”

Assistant Ken Thurgood has also left, along with goalkeeping coach Tony Prime and three players. Former boss Steve Perkins has taken temporary control.
