Wozza wins it for Terras
By Adam Summers
WARREN Byerley’s late strike handed Weymouth a welcome
victory over fellow strugglers Cirencester Town at the Corinium
Stadium last night.
Although both sides entered the Evo-Stik Southern Premier clash
having conceded 19 goals in their opening eight games, a goalless
draw looked on the cards for much of the evening until the Terras’
top scorer pounced to net his fifth of the season with just
one minute remaining.
Visiting boss Brendon King, who was understandably overjoyed
at the final whistle, said: “It was a game we deserved
to win.
“The boys worked hard and got their just rewards. They
kept going right up until the end and we eventually got that
bit of luck we have been looking for with Wozza nipping in and
taking advantage of a bit of hesitancy between their keeper
and one of their defenders.
“To come away with the three points and a clean sheet is
just fantastic and I was delighted with the performance as a
whole.
“Our shape was good, we were disciplined throughout and
the work rate all over the pitch was fantastic. And when you
consider how far we have travelled tonight you have to take
your hat off to each and every one of the players, who were
magnificent.”
King made three changes to his starting XI with Sam Poole, Byron
Napper and Mitch Conning replacing Mark Peters, Ollie Tribe
and Ryan McKechnie.
The latter two dropped to the bench while Peters missed out
completely having been released late on Monday night.
Tom Manley was again preferred to Nick Jordan between the posts
and he produced a series of solid stops to keep the score goalless
going into the break after Byerley had gone close in the opening
minutes in a fairly even first half.
Ben Gerring also picked up a caution for a heavy challenge on
six minutes but both him and Poole looked solid at the heart
of the back four, which also included Tim Stephenson and Scott
Dixon in the full-back roles.
A brief scare at the start of the second half then saw Cirencester
waste a glorious chance from close range before the Terras began
to build a sustained period of pressure at the other end with
Mitch Conning and Richard Marshallsay both being denied by fine
saves.
The game then began to open up in the final 20 minutes and with
Manley and his defence growing in stature, the visitors went
in search of a winner and following an unsuccessful effort from
Sam Malsom, they were eventually rewarded.
The industrious Marshallsay made a fine intervention in midfield
and when his ball over the top caused hesitancy in the Centurions’
backline, Byerley pounced and applied a cool finish, much to
the delight of the travelling fans.
Town’s heads immediately dropped after that and just a
minute later a frustrated Mitchell Bryant lost the plot and
stamped on Gerring, giving the man in the middle no other option
but to raise the red card, enabling Weymouth to see out added-time
with consummate ease.
King added: “Hopefully, this will give us a bit more belief
now and we can go on a bit of a run and lift everyone at the
club.
“If we continue to work as hard as we did tonight then
I have no doubts that we will have every chance of doing that
and climbing the table.”
