It’s beginning to look very bleak for Weymouth Football Club to retain their National League South status the Terras hosted Eastbourne Borough at the Bob Lucas Stadium on Saturday and our man at the game said that despite creating numerous chances particularly after the break they failed to convert any into goals and conceded once in the 36th minute losing the game 1 nil.
With only 6 league matches remaining the clock is ticking for Weymouth to put a run of victories together or it’s Southern League Football for the Terras next season.
In the Southern League Dorchester’s recent loan signing Lewis Waterfield salvaged a point for the Magpies at Salisbury with a 90th minute equaliser. Dorchester took the lead on the half hour through Shaq Gwengwe then conceded twice before Waterfield struck to snatch a point for the Magpies.
