In their only match this season Charlestown scrapped out a 1-0 victory and Shane Pryce’s men will be looking to do the same at one of the toughest away venues in the PlayStation NPL Northern NSW.
In the past month, Weston have threatened to snatch their first win of 2016, and coach Trevor Morris will be desperate for his side’s first win of the campaign.
Weston went close last weekend in a 2-2 draw with Valentine and were very unlucky not to a least have grabbed a point at Magic Park a couple of weeks ago.
“Our confidence has been good the last five or six weeks,” Bears coach Trevor Morris said.
“We have played the top four sides and it's just the soft goals which we are giving away which are hurting us.”
“I can’t fault their effort or commitment, the attitude at training has been great – no one is missing training.
“The only thing that is missing is a win and a team song. I’m quite proud of what we are doing and how well we are working.”
Injuries and players leaving as well haven’t helped the cause, but the emergence of some young talent in Lachlan Rowan, Isaac Peek, and Jake Barner have been shining lights for Weston in an otherwise season to forget.
Trent Partridge return for suspension for the Bears and Jordan Jackson is out with suspension.
“Charlestown has got everything to play for, their still a chance of making the semis and we are desperate to earn some respect,” Morris said.
“We want to make it as hard as we can for them. I’m not worried about what Charlestown can do, I’m worried about what we do.
“Everyone knows that we are going through a tough spell and I hope that all the fans can see what a breath of fresh air the young boys are who have been promoted.”
