Weymouth 1–2 Tiverton Town — Match Report

Weymouth were beaten 2-1 by Tiverton Town at the Bob Lucas Stadium on 31 October 2026 after a contest that followed the pattern set by the early breakthrough. The visitors led 1-0 inside five minutes when Owen Howe opened the scoring, leaving the Terras to chase the game from the outset. Weymouth did have moments before the interval, including Euan Pollock’s half-volley that drifted just wide on 39 minutes, but they went into the break still trailing and needing a response.

The second half began badly for Weymouth when Howe doubled Tiverton’s lead on 50 minutes to make it 2-0. The home side then made a triple change shortly afterwards, with Kieran Douglas, Brooklyn Genesini and Wes Fogden introduced as they tried to change the flow of the match. Further cautions for Jack William Kennell and Jacob Robert Wellington added to a stop-start period, but Tiverton continued to protect their advantage as the Terras looked for a way back into the contest.

Weymouth finally got their reward in the closing stages when they reduced the deficit to 2-1 in the 88th minute. That goal gave the home side a late lift and set up a tense finish, with five minutes of added time signalled, but Tiverton saw the match out to take the points. The attendance was 788, and although Weymouth made the visitors work late on, the damage from the first two away goals proved decisive.

The late Weymouth scorer is not named in the report because the available scoring details identify different players for the 88th-minute goal, but the scoreline and timing of the goal are consistent.
