BRIDPORT will host Weymouth for the first time since 2017 when the two sides meet in a pre-season friendly on Tuesday.

St Mary's Field will play host to the fixture, which kicks off at 7.30pm.

The Bees last played the Terras in November 2017 when Mark Salter's double in 60 seconds gave them a 2-0 victory in their Dorset Senior Cup first round clash.

Both sides were relegated last season, Bridport to Step 6 and Weymouth to Step 2.

Respective managers Edgar Marcu and David Oldfield consequently each have rebuilding jobs on their hands.

And their latest pre-season tests mean Bridport's summer schedule expands to seven games, while Weymouth's grows to five.

Bridport won 4-1 on Tuesday night against Bishops Lydeard, while Weymouth await their first pre-season test at Portland United on Saturday (3pm).
