From Sid Grant History of Coalfields Soccer
1946 in 2nd Division, while there followed several seasons of total shutdown. Even Abermain Park was their home venue without success.

WESTON SOCCER IN SOUND POSITION
The annual balance sheet of the Weston Soccer Club, just issued by the club's secretary (Mr. Jack Avis) discloses that although the club was recently relegated from the State League competition, it has assets valued at £766. Of this amount, £200 is in the Commonwealth War Loan, £148 in a current account, while a special reserve fund stands at £48. The club has nominated teams in the South Maitland Association for under 18, under 16 and under 14 years grades. The club officials hope to re-enter the senior ranks in 1947.
The report offers strong criticism to the method adopted by the State directors in dropping such an old-established team as Weston, as the club had always filled its playing and financial obligations. Officials elected for the season were: President, Mr. T. W. Williams; chairman,. W. Beaney; treasurer, T. Hetherington; secretary, J. Avis; auditors, Messrs. W. Wright and W. Varty. At the conclusion of the annual meeting, Mr. W. Beaney, on behalf of the club, made a presentation to international Jim Wilkinson in recognition of his long and Valued services as a player.
