Weymouth will face a 'tough test' in AFC Bournemouth's under-21s on Saturday, according to Mark Molesley.

The Terras face Alan O'Connell's side at the Bob Lucas at 2pm after an unbeaten start to pre-season. 

Molesley's side has two wins and two draws so far, having scored eight and conceded just two. 

A 4-0 away win to Hamworthy Recreation started things off before a 2-0 win away to Sholing was followed by third consecutive clean sheet away to Wimborne in a 0-0 draw.

Last time out, the Terras saw an 85th minute equaliser deny them of victory over National League outfit Eastleigh in a 2-2 draw at the Bob Lucas.

Terras boss Molesley says he is 'looking forward' to welcoming the Cherries youngsters but is under no illusions of it being an easy game.

Speaking to Echosport, he said: "I am really looking forward to welcoming them, I have lots of links with Bournemouth from my time there, and go back with Alan so I am looking forward to seeing them.

"They are going to provide a tough test, they are super fit and they will test our physicality.

"They will pose many problems that we will have to solve and they will solve any problems we create very quickly.

"We are going to have to react and problem solve during the game."

Molesley will be without Keelan O'Connell after he picked up an ankle injury against Eastleigh on Tuesday, with Brandon Goodship and club stalwart Calvin Brooks also still side-lined.

Speaking on injuries ahead of the Cherries visit, he said: "Keelan is not going to make it, Brandon sadly won't either.

"Calvin Brooks is upping his training and is close to returning but will be slowly integrated back in to the team."

The game will also give Molesley the chance to fine tune his team as the season opener against Tonbridge on August 10 draws closer with the squad all but complete.

He added: "We are virtually there now, just a couple we are sorting out for the longer term, but we are there and there abouts."
