DIRECTOR of Rugby Carl Douglas says he is committed to staying at Dudley Kingswinford even if the club suffers a likely relegation this season.

He revealed his desire to remain at Heathbrook despite the fact that DK slipped even further towards back-to-back relegations last Saturday.

The basement boys suffered a crushing blow in their fight for survival when losing 28-0 to second from bottom Burton.

However, Douglas says he is determined to turn things around for the club should they choose to renew his deal, which is believed to be a three-month rolling contract.

"I have said all along that I'm committed to staying as long as the club want me to be involved," he said.

"I will continue on the journey of helping the club to rebuild.

He also revealed his has a clear blueprint in place for how DK can turn their fortunes around.

"Fans should know that there is already a robust plan being drawn up for next season.

"I have set out the broad principles for how to move forwards.

"I am not in a position to reveal all of the details of the plan, but it involves evolving rugby both on and off the pitch. It is going to be about a one-club approach.

"That will mean involving everyone, including the running and squash clubs, and making this a vibrant place to come.

"It is also important we build on the player base and the work of Jim Percival (head of 16-19 rugby)."

Against Burton, DK couldn't repeat the performance that saw them beat their fellow strugglers earlier in the season.

The early exchanges took place between the two 22 metre lines with neither side able to dominate.

The deadlock was broken after six minutes when the home side capitalized on some poor DK tackling, which led to hooker James Davies crossing for the opening try. Sam Benjamin added the extra points.

Then, despite constant DK pressure, Burton broke out of defence deep in their own half and took advantage of more poor tackling for winger Benjamin to score out wide on the half hour mark. He duly added the conversion.

Burton began to get into their stride at the start of the second half and put pressure on the visitors and within seven minutes increased their lead when yet again DK let themselves down with poor tackling and centre Jack Brooks took advantage to cross near to the posts. Benjamin once again added the extras.

The final score of the game came in the 70th minute when centre Loz Belty crossed for the try, converted by Benjamin again.

"It has given us a mountain to climb and there were understandably a lot of disappointed players afterwards," added Douglas.

"I can't fault their effort but the reality is that there are too many errors in our game. Until we cut that out we won't be troubling the scoreboard."

The game will probably the final appearance of Edlyn Serge due to the South African's visa running out this weekend.

DK will welcome Sutton Coldfield to Heathbrook this Saturday.
