Weymouth Football Club’s senior men’s team’s sorte into this season’s FA Cup competition ended at The New Lawn Stadium, where they were beaten by Forest Green Rovers by 2 goals to nil.
Our Man at the Match said, “Weymouth travelled up as massive underdogs against the recent EFL team and were still in the game well into the second half, and to add to that, their second goal came following what appeared to be a blatant foul on Tom Bearwish, but the referee didn’t see it that way. The fans have to be proud of the players, but yet again, the Terras couldn’t find the back of the net, and to make it worse, with St. Albans winning today, Weymouth are now propping all of the other National League South teams on the bottom of the league table”.
Dorchester took the lead at Marlow courtesy of striker Shaquille Gwengwe, then conceded twice, only for Corby Moore to net the equaliser to make the final score Marlow 2 Dorchester 2, a good point on the road for the Magpies.
Shaq Gwengwe scored again for the Magpies at Marlow.
Very often, a football match is described as a game of two halves and Portlands game at Grove Corner against visitors Hamble was very much in that vane.
The Blues raced into a two nil half time lead with goals from Freddie Beale and Greg Borthwick; however, after the break, they conceded four times with no further scores from themselves, making the eventual outcome Portland United 2 Marlow 4.
