    Looks like chickweed to me, Spray usually try to stop from seeding its a annual plant so needs seed to go from year to year but can produce a lot of seeds

    Just wait. It will go away by itself.

    Yes, this is common chickweed. Was this a reseed by any chance? Too late to spray now but treat with a product called Alistell in the spring. It’s expensive but very effective on strong chickweed growth and kind on clover.

    Common chickweed, graze it tight with sheep and you'll not see any next year. I reseeded a field last year with chicory and a variety of clovers and because of the wet weather after drilling i didnt get on to get it sprayed and all i had early spring was a field of chickweed, but a tight grazing all summer has cured it and the clover is well established. Agree with Conflats that its an annual plant so wont appear again next year
