THE brother of Yeovil Town boss Gary Johnson has been appointed the new manager of non-league Weymouth.

Steve Johnson was yesterday announced as the new man to take over the Wessex Stadium hotseat following the departure of previous manager Steve Claridge.

The Johnson brothers may not fully appreciate the intense football rivalry that has existed between Yeovil and Weymouth over decades.

But it would be fair to say that that rivalry has dwindled somewhat in recent years with Yeovil marching up into the Football League and Weymouth languishing in the Conference South division.
