WESTON HOST POOLE AS PLAYOFF PUSH HEATS UP

The Seagulls welcome Poole Town to the Optima Stadium in a crucial playoff clash on Saturday 5th March, 3pm kick-off.

Weston will look to put the disappointment of yet another postponement behind them in what is just their second game since the 12th February.

The other game played was also at the Optima Stadium when Weston were held by league leaders Hayes & Yeading. A Scott Laird goal was cancelled out late on from the spot seeing the game finish 1-1.

Poole most recently hosted Walton Casuals and 1-0 saw the Dolphins rise to ninth, three points behind the Seagulls. However Weston have played three less games than Poole.

Scott Bartlett’s side will be looking up the table at Chesham who may sit four points clear of the Seagulls, but have played three more games.

The last time the two sides met was back in November 2021 and was hosted by Poole Town. A second half flurry which included goals from Dayle Grubb, Jordan Bastin and Scott Laird gave Weston a big 3-0 away win.
