Two goals in two minutes immediately after the break turned the tide from a 1-0 first-half win to Wrexham hitting six in the second half to condemn the Terras to relegation.

Half-time conversation amongst home fans (whilst they were winning this one) referred to youngsters impressively playing for their place, just unfortunately three months late to show the fight. Poor early season form meant being unbeaten in the last two home games (admittedly both 0-0) was too little too late for Weymouth this season.

The visitors however were unbeaten in 15 matches in all competitions before Darren Sarll’s Woking beat them 2-1 last Saturday. The second highest scorers in the league waited until the second 45 minutes to show off the gulf in the table between second and second bottom.

Wrexham made two changes from Saturday with Liam McAlinden coming in for Callum McFadzean and Tyler French replacing Reece Hall-Johnson.

A weakened Weymouth side (no Tyler Cordner, Sean Shields, Nathan Carlyle or Ben Thomson at all tonight) actually dominated the early stages. Back-to-back corners inside five minutes and an offside goal in the 11th minute a sign of what was to come.

A graceful, flowing attacking move-one of the best they have put together this season, saw a slide-rule pass from Tom Blair put fellow Tom-Bearwish in on the angle to lift over Christian Dibble. Finished with a plomb.

Within 10 seconds of kick off, Bradley Ash (later rather isolated up top) was back in the box, shooting just over.

Oddly Josh McQuoid was at his most vocal, berating best when Weymouth were up in the game, screaming at any loose pass, endeavouring to keep standards high. Almost as if he was vocally unleashing frustrations from the whole season. He quietened as the game went on and his side all but gave up on this game and the season.

Wrexham were limited to long range efforts and minor mayhem caused by Rory Delap-esque throws from former Yeovil and Cheltenham defender Ben Tozer.

Though arguably the most experienced top-level gaffer in the league, Phil Parkinson (former Sunderland, Bolton, Bradford and Hull City boss) showed his worth at half-time prompting patience in a brief but incredibly inspirational half-time team talk. Out for the second-half way before the home side, Weymouth were calmness personified.

Within four minutes they had turned the tides and had the lead. The equaliser was marred in controversy as a debatable freekick was taken quickly by Luke Young and Jordon Davies unleashed a screamer with his wand of a left-foot from 25-yards.

With Weymouth still cursing their luck, Wrexham came straight at them again from kick-off, Paul Mullins nodding in from a pinpoint McAlinden cross; 2-1.

A poor Ross Fitzsimons pass nearly allowed the Red Dragons to make it 3-1 on 53 minutes but for a superb recovery challenge from my (and the sponsors) man of the match Haji Mnoga. Without whom it could have been eight or nine for Wrexham.

Just two minutes later it was 3-1 though.

Aaron Hayden had gone off injured just before half-time, and his much pacier replacement right-back, Hall-Johnson did well to keep the ball alive and cross for James Jones to dink in at the near post.

Davies second goal was another touch of class, controlling a ball from the left superbly to then stab home into the bottom corner with no back-lift, Weymouth stunned.

The home side never managed 20 minutes without conceding in the second half. Having scored seven in his last six outings before today, Mullin went joint-top of the National League goalscoring charts just after Gary Oldfield made his final two substitutes. A close range tap in from another fine McAlinden cross.

The embarrassment peaked and, fortunately for home viewers, was finalised less than 60 seconds later. Ollie Palmer was found in way too much space by Jones’ through ball and slipped past a helpless Fitzsimons before fans had finished grieving over the previous goal conceded.

Interestingly Parkinson took both scorers of braces off (Davies and Mullin) before either was given a chance to notch a hattrick, perhaps showcasing the team ethic of this hardworking Wrexham side.

Come the closing minutes Weymouth fans sang louder than they had all season, yes ironic, jeering songs at how poor their team are, but they will be back next season ready to give it their all once again.

The world’s third oldest professional football club go one step closer to promotion back to the football league whilst Weymouth’s long expected National League South position is confirmed for next season.
