Only three points good enough for Weymouth in Staines Town game

Competition: England Non League Premier: Southern
Date: Sat 06.April
Match begins: 14:00 (UTC)
Venue: Bob Lucas Stadium (6600 seats)

A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The home fans are optimistic that the difference between 1st and 22nd place in the table will show on the pitch.

These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Non League Premier: Southern. Thankfully the previous game, versus Metropolitan Police FC, was also a home game here at Bob Lucas Stadium. The away team is better rested.
