Terras boss begins summer cull

Blue Square Premier outfit Weymouth have released three players as boss John Hollins begins his rebuilding process for next season.

Skipper Simon Weatherstone, defender Justyn Roberts and forward Stuart Douglas are the players deemed surplus to requirements at the Wessex Stadium.

There are also doubts over the futures of Nick Crittenden, Trevor Challis and Paolo Vernazza, with the trio also likely to be headed out of the club.

Hollins told The Dorset Echo: "Simon Weatherstone, Justyn Roberts and Stuart Douglas have gone, Nick Crittenden has not got back to me, so I assume he has also gone, and we are still talking to Paolo Vernazza and Trevor Challis although I think Trevor will go as well.

"What we are trying to do is get a new squad of players and a fresh look on it all.

"We enjoyed a great finish to the season by going six unbeaten but over the other 40-odd games the results were up and down, and 30-odd of them were before we came in.

"The plan is to get points and ensure we have a team that will make sure we are not in the same position next season as we were towards the end of this season."
