WESTON RETURN HOME FOR WEYMOUTH FRIENDLY
Weston return to the Optima Stadium in what is their penultimate home pre-season friendly. National League South side Weymouth are the visitors this Saturday, July 23rd, 3pm ko.
The Terras have experienced a yo-yo few seasons and will be eyeing a return to the National League following their relegation last season.
Weymouth boss David Oldfield will be looking to this game to try and turn around their fortunes, after friendly defeats in the last week at Poole Town and Frome Town.
The South Coast outfit will have an extremely familiar face in their forward line. Ex-Seagull Bradley Ash has signed a new contract at the Bob Lucas Stadium and looks set to make an appearance for Weymouth against his former side. Ash initially left for Barnsley in January 2016, before three subsequent loan spells back at Weston, where he continued to find the net.
As for The Seagulls, Weston will be looking to continue with their objective of getting more minutes into the players ahead of the season’s opening game at Bracknell Town on August 6.
