WESTON HOST KINGS LANGLEY
Weston are back in league action as they face Kings Langley at the Optima Stadium on Saturday 15th January, 3pm kick-off.
After Tuesday night’s dramatic finish, the Seagulls will be looking to follow up the 2-1 away win to Hayes & Yeading.
Goals from Jordan Bastin and a 92nd minute winner from Marlon Jackson gave Scott Bartlett’s side a crucial three points which lifted them to 7th in the league.
Weston have a total of 41 points so far compared to Kings Langley’s total of 19. 13 places separate the two sides.
Kings Langley most recently lost to Beaconsfield Town 1-0. Weston are so far unbeaten in 2022 with wins against Merthyr Town and Hayes & Yeading after drawing to Truro City on New Year’s Day.
The two sides last met on the opening day of the season where a second half goal from Sam Avery gave the Seagulls a 1-0 win.
After passing the halfway mark in the season, player/assistant manager Scott Laird said:
As we have entered the second half of the season it’s great to reflect briefly on our journey so far.
”Pre-season and the first few games of the season were brilliant then 4/5 injuries to key players and some playing through injuries effected us for 7/8 games.
”Then the last 14 games, we have yielded 31 points I think I’m right in saying, which has put us in a great position heading into the last 20 games.
“We only look to the next game and winning that but teams will start to fade and teams will start to steam ahead. We have to be in the latter.
“One final note that the gaffer and I have noticed is the togetherness and support of the fans this season.
”The numbers we took to Tivvy were immense and we as players and staff appreciate it so much.
”They are going to be the difference in us achieving something as a club this season so keep it going.“

The Club Shop within The Optima Stadium will be open for all Weston-super-Mare AFC First Team games.
PLAYER TUNNEL GATES
We may close these, for the players’ entry to the pitch and return from the pitch during their pre-match warm-up, there may be a slightly longer period before the game where these will have to remain closed.
We do apologise in advance for this. The Stewards will open them as soon as it is deemed safe to do so.
MATCH FOOTBALLS
We do ask that supporters try not to throw balls back on to the pitch.
A Steward or Ball Person will instead make their way to your location, gather the football, and return to the Home Dugout so that it can be cleaned before going back on to the pitch.
When balls leave the pitch in this manner, the Home Dugout will be throwing another ball on to the pitch for the continuation of the game.

There are signs before entering the turnstiles and one in the turnstile. There is the recognised NHS App version system.
