DORCHESTER TOWN 3 WEYMOUTH 4
WEYMOUTH retained the Ridgeway Shield with a dramatic 4-3 success over rivals Dorchester Town at the Jewson Stadium.
The Terras found themselves two goals down inside 15 minutes as Lewis Trevett and Luke Turk put the hosts in front.
But Weymouth fought back with strikes from Michael Norman, Ben Reiffer and Ryan McKechnie to take a half-time lead.
The visitors extended their lead after the break through Sam Poole before Magpies' substitute Angus Carter set up a nervous finale with 15 minutes left.
Losing boss Robbie Taylor, who will be joining Dorchester Town Under-18s' coaching staff next season, paid tribute to his players.
He said: "When we were 4-2 down we had a new lease of life and after getting the third I thought we might pinch one at the end.

"However, we've had a good season. Some will be disappointed after coming second in the league, county cup and now this, but they've done really well.
"We've got a good team spirit and hopefully I'll try and keep them together for next season."
