SEAGULLS HOST WIMBORNE IN LEAGUE ENCOUNTER

Weston are back at the Optima Stadium as they welcome Wimborne Town for a Southern League game on Saturday 12th February, 3pm kick-off.

The Seagulls will have to put the disappointment of Wednesday’s postponement behind them as they continue pushing for the play offs.

Weston are currently seventh in the table and three points behind Gosport, however Scott Bartlett’s side have played three fewer games.

Wimborne sit in the relegation places and have 15 points from 27 games. However, they have played four games less than the two teams above them, Kings Langley and Dorchester Town.

The two sides have met twice already this season, the first was not without controversy. After going 3-0 up inside 30 minutes, the referee deemed the sodden pitch unplayable and opted to abandon.

Soon after, the sides were drawn against each other in the FA Trophy. A goal from Alfie Moulden could not stop the visitors that day from progressing in the competition.

We would like to welcome NK Teamwear as the Matchday Sponsors and wish them an enjoyable afternoon at The Optima.
