Weymouth make Hemel Hempstead Town work for their win
Weymouth gave early-season pace-setters Hemel Hempstead Town a real test before losing 1-0 at the Bob Lucas Stadium on Saturday.
The visitors, currently second and just one point behind Evo-Stik Southern League leaders Leamington, were forced to work hard for their three points, which were secured through pacy striker Charlie Mpi's 35th minute strike.

There was more than a touch of good fortune about the goal - Alex Campana's cross took a deflection to find its way to Mpi, and the Terras' appealed in vain for an offside flag.
Weymouth - without injured defenders Sam Poole and Barry McConnell - created several good chances of their own in the first half with Ben Joyce, Dan Smith and Scott Walker all going close.

Early in the second half, Walker hit the post with a header following a cross from Smith, who later fired an effort into the side netting.
Town still posed a threat though, particularly through the dangerous Mpi, who forced a fine save out of Simon Evans after bursting through the Terras defence.
Next up for Weymouth is the short trip to in-form Frome Town on Wednesday night (7.45pm).
