TERRAS: Frustration as lights go out at Bashley

5:20am Wednesday 29th January 2014 in Club News By Adam Summers

THE Terras were left frustrated last night when a general power cut brought a premature end to their league clash at Bashley.

The lights went out in the 43rd minute after Weymouth had built up a 2-1 lead, courtesy of goals from Scott Walker and George Rigg.

The blackout left referee Mark Russell no other choice but to abandon the fixture, which might have been stopped at half-time anyway, due to surface water gathering on the pitch following a sustained period of heavy rain.

The Terras are beginning to get used to floodlight failures at the Recreation Ground.

They also had a Red Insure Cup tie at Bashley postponed for that very reason back in October.

On that occasion the game was called off just 15 minutes before kick-off.

Weymouth player-boss Jason Matthews, a qualified electrician, told Echosport: Theres nothing anyone could have done.

It was a shame because it was turning into a really good end-to-end game.
