NEW Zealander Andrew Falloon will miss Wey-mouth's Dorset Funeral Plan League opener against Wayfarers at Redlands tomorrow (1.30pm) due to a hold up on his visa.
The Seasiders captured the all-rounder during a tour Down Under and they are hopeful he will be on these shores within the next seven days.
Weymouth skipper Dean Janaway said: "Unfortunately Andrew is going to miss tomorrow's game.
"His visa is going to take a few more days to come through which is a shame but we are confident he will be over here and available for the following Saturday when we travel to Blandford."
Former Somerset Under-19s player Andy Bray will make his debut for the Seasiders but Ben Lawes, Matt Lawes, Simon Browne and Andrew Fulton are all unavailable.
Janaway said: "It is always good to begin with a home game and hopefully we can get off to a great start with a good performance.

"We have a few unavailabilities, which is quite normal early season, but the team that has been chosen is more than capable so we will be going into it full of confidence and looking to win it.
"I think we beat them at home last season but it was rained off away. They are a pretty good side and they have got some good players who on their day can be dangerous.
"Most teams in this league possess a couple of match winners and they are no different but the top sides like Poole, Broadstone and Parley have more."
Weymouth: Janaway, Ryall, Payne, Bray, England, Steadman, Doidge, Nobbs, M Pearce, Whyte, Trotter.
* Weymouth Seconds begin their Division One campaign tomorrow with a trip to Shroton.
Seasiders' skipper Steve Budd said: "We have a very young side for tomorrow and it is quite nice really.
"There will be six players under the age of 20 in there, includung two 15-year-olds and it will be interesting to see how they all do.
"One of the 15-year-olds is Kieron Womble, who has been given a chance behind the stumps."
