Dorchester United Football Club, who gained promotion to the Dorset Premier Football League for the 2003/04 season, have notified the League of its withdrawal with immediate effect.

Last season was the Club's most successful, reaching the League Cup Final and finishing in 7th postion in the League.

United, expecting to build on the successes of last season, have only secured one point from its six DPL matches this season, and have cited the lack of player commitment as the reason for the decision to withdraw from the DPL."
