Are we Weymouth in disguise?

An uninspiring match at the 'Park on Saturday was brought to life by a spectacular strike by ex-Weymouth forward Richard Logan, which secured a 1-0 win and helped to hoist ECFC back into the play-off places. Logan single-handedly held off the attentions of the Morecambe defence to volley into the top corner from 25 yards.

This scorcher was followed by chants from the Morecambe supporters of "Are you Weymouth in disguise", which would seem to be a fair accusation.

The ECFC squad on Saturday featured fullback Steve Tully and winger Lee Elam - both signed from Weymouth in the January transfer window, as was Logan who came on up front. Striker Lee Phillips has also enjoyed a stint at the Terras, as has midfielder and assistant manager Paul Buckle.

Plans to plunder Weymouth’s ground staff, winkle sellers and Portland Bill (to replace the floodlights) are being considered – although Weymouth FCs chairman and accountant will be left well alone!
