Weymouth 5 Maidstone United 1

From the non-league paper:

Weymouth finally gave their fans a relaxing afternoon with an emphatic home win against a Stones' side who looked worse for wear from their long trip.

This was the first time the Terras had won at the Bob Lucas Stadium by more than a solitary goal since a 3-0 win over Braintree in late October and they could even afford the luxury of missing two penalties out of the three they were awarded.

Calvin Brooks began the rout inside the first three minutes when he ended a twisting run with a bullet shot that beat Chris Lewington inside his near post.

Halfway through the half Josh McQuoid slipped in Ben Thomson who stroked home the second moments before Abdulai Baggie failed from the spot.

It was, however, 3-0 just before the break after the unfortunate Ryan Johnson found his own net.

The Terras were virtually home and dry within nine minutes of the restart when Tom Whelan thumped home from the spot. Whelan should have scored again 15 minutes later but was left with egg on his face when he missed Weymouth's third penalty of the match.

The Stones did grab a consolation in the 75th minute. Sam Corne headed past Ward at the second attempt but the Terras rounded off the scoring late, substitute Hack Hoey hammering home a loose ball to complete the rout.
