A win is a win

A hastily arranged friendly against the real old enemy Yeovil Town bought much needed revenue into the wanting coffers of the WFC exchequer as Geoff Butler ran his eye over a few new players and other were given the chance to perform.

Weymouth had a great chance to open the scoring against the run of play on 9 minutes, Matt Hale's great run and cross was met by the rising head of Rigler who put the ball straight at keeper Collis.

John Waldock was out to claim his position at the back with two tremendous goal line clearances before Weymouth took the lead on 32 minutes. Danny Bailey's 30 yard cross field pass sought out the sprinting Hale he whipped in a curling cross that was met first time by Rigler who volleyed home from 10 yards.

Both sides made changes for the second half and Weymouth certainly took the upper hand although Kim Grant hit the post for Yeovil on 47 minutes and Collis was forced to make a point blank save against Charles on 78 minutes.
