Weymouth harbourside event village, right outside Weymouth Pavilion, will come alive with the championship Fan Zone on the Saturday, bringing the best of the racing and medal ceremonies alongside opportunities to try out windsurfing, dinghy sailing, keelboat sailing and accessible boat trips for free.
Three of our senior Non-League football clubs are involved in FA Knock Out competitions this weekend.
In the FA Trophy Weymouth were drawn to play Hartpury away, but due to circumstances the venue has been reversed and will now kick off at 3:00 pm at the Bob Lucas Stadium.
Portland United drew Thame United out of the hat in the same competition with the match taking place at Grove Corner.
Bridport will play Badshot Lea at St. Mary’s Field in an FA Vase tie.
