WEYMOUTH manager John Hollins wants his side to stretch their unbeaten run to six games by condemning Altrincham to relegation at the Wessex Stadium tomorrow (5.15pm).
Despite the Terras having secured their Blue Square Premier status with a 0-0 draw at champions Aldershot Town on Tuesday, the upbeat boss has insisted that it will be business as usual for the televised clash.
Hollins said: "Nothing less than a win will be enough for Altrincham but we want to finish on a high note as well.
"We are unbeaten in our last five and we want to finish with three draws
and three wins, which always sounds better.
"We have been aiming to find consis-tency and picking up points from six games against very different opposition would be exactly that and it will give us something to build on for next season.
"I think the draw at Aldershot on Tuesday showed how far we have come. Everyone did their jobs to the maximum and it really was a fantastic performance."

Alty are currently fourth bottom, two points adrift of Halifax Town, whose goal difference is far better. The Shaymen will entertain Stevenage Borough tomorrow knowing a point will be enough to keep them in the division.
Hollins added: "The Setanta Sports cameras are coming down for a reason but we have got our own goals to play for.
"Tomorrow is not a charity match, we went to Aldershot meaning business and we will go into tomorrow exactly the same, looking to pick up points because we want to finish the season with as many as we can."
Colin Little will be Alty's man to watch tomorrow. Despite playing in a struggling side, the experienced forward has still bagged 23 goals so far this season.
Hollins said: "Everybody has a threat at this standard and Little is Altrincham's threat.
"You can't afford to take it easy against anyone and like I said, tomorrow we want to keep our rhythm going."
On-loan sensation Chris Blackburn could have played his last game for the Terras. The centre-back missed the Aldershot game and is unlikely to be risked tomorrow.
Hollins added: "Chris will want to play but like with Paolo Vernazza and Marcus Browning we have to be careful.
"Chris has done his work and there is no real need to risk him.
"He has got to go back to Swindon Town and I am sure they would not be happy if we sent him back with a three-to-five-week injury.
"Justyn Roberts came in against Aldershot and did very well alongside Scott Doe, who again was exceptional.
"Stephen Henderson has also had a calf strain that we have had to keep an eye on but we have got Jon Stewart so that will be another decision we will need to make."
Live televised coverage of tomorrow's game will start at 5pm on Setanta Sports One.
n Following tomorrow's final whistle, the Supporters' Club Player of the Year award will be presented on the pitch.
The management, staff and players will then be present in the Wessex Lounge later for the Players' Player of the Year award, as well as other presentations to the various shirt sponsors.
n The supporters' club bus will leave from K7 on the seafront at 4.30pm.
