LIVE - Weston-super-Mare v Basingstoke Town

Full-time - Weston-super-Mare 2 Basingstoke Town 1

That could be a fatal blow to Town's play-off hopes. They huffed and puffed in the second half but never really looked like getting back into it after going behind.

See Thursday's Gazette for a full report and all of the reaction.

90+2 min - Diallo is booked for a foul on Sam-Yorke down the right and Toby Little's free-kick is not too far away from curling in at the far post.

90 min - Pepperell gets in down the right channel but his powerful shot is straight at Morris.

82 min - Weston replace Ingram with Nabi Diallo.

79 min - Wes Daly is booked for a bad foul with Weston's Pepperell also seeing yellow for dissent. The resulting free-kick drifts not too far wide and just over the attackers.

77 min - Sam-Yorke does brilliantly in the left corner, beating two men - but he then decides to shoot from an almost impossible angle when there are men waiting, and finds only the side nettting.

76 min - Gasson is booked for a foul.

73 min - Town make their final change, replacing Jide Ogunbote with Simon Dunn.

71 min - Sam-Yorke almost makes an instant impact, his clever chip nearly catching out Lloyd Irish in the home goal, who has to scramble back to save.

69 min - A double change for Town, who bring on Sam-Yorke and Gradwell for Tim Sills and Warner.

Weston goal - And it comes direct from a corner. Morris flaps at Ingram's flag kick, which hits the far post and goes in despite the best efforts of Gasson on the line.

58 min - Warner cuts in from the right and clips the near post with a low shot.

52 min - Weston are forced to take off the dangerous Kabba, who has been struggling with an injury for some time, replacing him with Chris Young.

46 min - Town kick off at the start of the second half. No changes for either side at the break.

Half-time - Weston-super-Mare 1 Basingstoke Town 1

Town will do well to hold on for a point after being reduced to 10. Weston had the better of the first half and will probably feel they should be ahead.

Red card - David Pratt lunges in for a challenge in midfield. It's a clear foul and after consulting with his assistant, referee Brett Huxtable shows the striker a straight red card.

It looked a harsh decision and Ashley Bayes is sent from the dugout for his prostestations.

45 min - RED CARD (Pratt)

Town goal - Town win their first corner of the match and Matt Warner drifts it in to the back post, where MacDonald is on hand to head home powerfully.

38 min - GOAL - Weston-super-Mare 1 Basingstoke Town 1 (MacDonald)

37 min - Smart is booked after pulling back Ingram, who looked to be going through, and Weston work the resulting free-kick well, leading to a chance for Price, who scuffs wide.

32 min - Weston put together a good move down the right and Jay Gasson slices his clearance straight to Kabba, who blazes badly over from inside 10 yards. A bad miss.

26 min - Angus MacDonald is booked for a foul.

21 min - Weston's Jamie Laird is booked for disent.

6 min - Morris half comes for a free-kick and looks in trouble when the ball is headed back across goal. However, he does brilliantly to recover, producing an excellent one handed save to keep out Matt Villis' header.

4 min - Weston are on top at the moment and Kane Ingram flashes a shot narrowly wide from the left side of the area.

Weston goal - Sahr Kabba got a hat-trick against Farnborough on Saturday and he races onto a ball over the top before smashing an angled drive past Chay Morris.

2 min - GOAL - Weston-super-Mare 1 (Kabba) Basingstoke Town 0 1 min - Weston get the game started.

Team news - Two enforced changes for Town as Bradley Bubb has finished his loan spell and Stuart Lake is suspended. David Pratt and Toby Little come in as Basingstoke return to 4-2-3-1, with Robert Rice in central midfield.

Shaun McAuley, Ashley Bayes and Adam Mekki are still not over their injuries, but Delano Sam-Yorke is fit enough to be on the bench.

Town: Morris, Smart, Little, MacDonald, Gasson, Rice, Daly, Ogunbote, Sills, Pratt, Warner. Subs: Gradwell, Sam-Yorke, Dunn, Bondon, Rouga.

Weston: Irish, Price, Slocombe, Cleverley, Villis, Laird, Ingram, Kirk, Kabba, Trowbridge, Pepperall. Subs: Diallo, Young, McGregor, Duharty.
