However, only four days later and Weymouth beat Wimborne Town in the league when Harry Baker scored on his return from a loan spell at Frome Town, his late strike proved enough to win the game 1-0. Mark Molesley praised his side’s patience and said he was delighted for Baker. Baker himself said he was pleased be back amongst the goals for Weymouth.
Calvin Brooks said in an interview that he was delighted to be back at Weymouth, and Mark Molesley claimed in another interview that he felt his side had all the tools to cope with being the league leaders.

On 16th October, Charlie Davis left Weymouth for Poole Town as he went in search of more game time, Charlie finished his season at Weymouth having made 9 appearances. That evening Weymouth produced a stunning comeback to win 2-1 at Tiverton Town, Jake McCarthy equalised before Brandon Goodship scored in the 91st minute to earn his side the three points. Mark Molesley was, again, full of praise for the Terras character to fight until the end.

Speaking to theterras.com after the game, Abdulai Baggie said fighting until the end was a trait of this side.
The Terras progressed to the next round of the FA Trophy with an impressive 3-1 victory at Taunton Town, goals from Goodship, Zubar and Wakefield saw Weymouth breeze through to the second qualifying round. Brandon Goodship’s goal was his 50th for Weymouth. Weymouth learnt that they would be at home to Street in the next round.
