THE SEAGULLS CLASH WITH THE BEAVERS IN VANARAMA NATIONAL LEAGUE SOUTH

Weston return to Vanarama National League South action at the Optima Stadium as they take on Hampton & Richmond Borough this Saturday, September 9th. The match kicks off at 3pm.

The game comes just four days after Tuesday’s 3-2 defeat at home to Yeovil Town, as James Morton and Jamie Soule scored their first competitive goals for the club.

Hampton were also in action on Tuesday night, and picked up a 1-0 home victory over Weymouth. The game with The Terras finished well after ten o’clock after issues with the floodlights, but The Beavers will be delighted that they were working well when they were awarded a very late penalty. Ex-Weston striker Ben Seymour, on loan here at the start of the 2017/18 season, stepped up and dispatched the penalty to earn the three points.

This midweek victory is the second of their campaign following a 2-1 win at Truro City on August 19th, and Hampton will go into this game in confident mood after Tuesday’s drama.

As for The Seagulls, they should be encouraged by many aspects of their own performance against Yeovil, in what will be Weston’s last home league game for four weeks.
