Weymouth are currently 18th in the National
League and will be reasonably happy with their performances in this their first
season in the league. They've won just one of their previous five games,
defeating Altrincham 2-1 at home. In that time they've been beaten by Notts
County, Boreham Wood, Solihull Moors, and newly crowned champions, Sutton
United.The team is led by Brian Stock, appointed in September 2020
after leaving Bournemouth's backroom staff. Weymouth's squad features former Poolie
Myles Anderson, Brazilian Alefe Santos, and Spaniard Joan Luque, a graduate of
Barcelona's academy.The History

winning the reverse fixture. In January, Josh McQuiod's goal was the difference
between the two sides at the Bob Lucas Stadium as the Terras won 1-0.Team News
