Jake McCarthy saved the Weymouth’s blushes by converting a 95th-minute penalty and winning the Terras a valuable point at the Bob Lucas Stadium against fellow National League South strugglers Enfield Town after the visitors had taken the lead 10 minutes earlier, also with a penalty to make the final score Weymouth 1 vs Enfield Town 1.
In the second half, the referee dealt 2 red cards, one to either side.
Our Man at the Match said: “Two poor teams produced a scrappy game. In the second half, Weymouth did come out with a bit more fire and forced the Enfield keeper into action, but it was a disappointing result when the Terras could have done with all 3 points”.
Dorchester left it even later going into time added on and trailing by a goal to nil against relegation-threatened Sholing. The Magpies Polish striker Olaf Koszela latched on to a cross from the right to slot the ball past the despairing dive of the Sholing keeper and into the corner of the net to snatch a point in the 101st minute of the game.
