Ten-Man Weymouth Beaten as legendary Jason Matthews Makes Shock Return

Weymouth FC Lose 1–0 at Home to Havant & Waterlooville After Late Red Card Drama

Weymouth, Dorset – 14 February 2026 — Weymouth FC were beaten 1–0 by Havant & Waterlooville at the Bob Lucas Stadium on Saturday in a dramatic Southern League Premier South encounter.

The visitors scored the only goal of the game in the first half, giving Weymouth work to do after the break. The match took a significant turn when the Terras were reduced to 10 men after their goalkeeper received a second yellow card and was sent off.

With no recognised goalkeeper available on the bench, 53-year-old Director of Football and Weymouth legend Jason Matthews was brought on for the final 20 minutes of the game. His introduction drew a strong reaction from the home crowd as he stepped back onto the pitch in an effort to help his side salvage a result.

Despite pushing forward and showing determination while a man down, Weymouth were unable to find an equaliser. Havant & Waterlooville held firm to secure all three points.

The result continues a challenging run for the Terras, who will now look to regroup ahead of their next fixture as they aim to return to winning ways.
