City ruin Terras’ dreams

IAN Hutchinson was left cursing his side’s luck after Weymouth were denied a third goal in last night’s devastating 3-2 defeat at new league leaders Salisbury City.

With a 2-0 lead at half-time, the Terras were dreaming of a famous first victory in the Zamaretto Premier Division at the start of the second period but everything conspired against them as the Whites pulled off a dramatic comeback with three goals in the last 15 minutes.

Bradley Gray’s brace and Scott Joyce’s winner sealed a heartbreaking reversal of fortunes for Hutchinson’s men, particularly after a highly contentious decision saw Jamie McGuinness have an effort ruled out for offside on 65 minutes.

The Terras’ boss: “Jamie is an honest lad and he is adamant he wasn’t offside. The keeper saved it and Jamie come from behind their lad to tuck it in so the fact it wasn’t given was very disappointing.

“Had it been given it would have been 3-0 and game over but instead 10 minutes later they scored to get right back in it.”

Hutchinson went on to add: “A bit of the rub of the green would be nice but despite such a disappointing finish to the game it still gives us a lot of hope.

“The luck was just not with us in the end but we showed people what we are about and if we continue working as hard as we have been then I am confident our rewards will come.”
