WEYMOUTH must bridge a nine-point gap to Vanarama National League safety after Maidenhead United shocked Boreham Wood 2-0.

David Oldfield's Terras had closed to within six points of 20th-placed Maidenhead after beating Eastleigh 1-0 in midweek.

However, Alan Devonshire's men scored a goal either side of half-time in front of the BT cameras after Wood's Kane Smith had wobbled the bar with a first-half header.

United then wrapped up the three points courtesy of Josh Kelly and Nathan Blissett to end the Wood's 12-game unbeaten league run.

Wood had not lost since a 2-1 defeat at Chesterfield in late October and have reached the fifth round of the FA Cup where they are due to visit Premier League side Everton.
