Will Dawes’ one month loan spell at our Claret and Blue friends over the Dorset border won’t be extended beyond it’s inital month.

In his pre-match press conference, the National League South struggler’s manager Bob Wilkinson confirmed, Dawes would return to Huish Park.

Neil Walton, of the Dorset Echo reported that Wilkinson said that Will had “done nothing wrong”.

Dawes has been absent from recent squads due to the Terras having too many loans, and was the sole goal scorer (and for a short time, goal keeper) for the Glovers in the midweek defeat to Paulton Rovers in the Somerset Men’s Premier Cup.

In total, Dawes played just three times for his temporary side, without scoring.

Still, at least we won’t have to keep mentioning W*ymouth in our loan watch articles, I suppose.

It wasn’t a good night for Yeovil as the Glovers crashed out of the Somerset Men’s Premier Cup at the hands of Paulton Rovers, however a record was broken on the night.

Ollie Haste became the youngest player in history to lead Yeovil Town out in a men’s first team fixture as captain.

The youngster, at just 18 years and 10 months old broke the record held by goalkeeper Nathan Baxter back in 2019 when he was named skipper for a game in League Two at the age of a little over 20.

Our very own historical oracle, Nigel Dyson failed to find any younger captains, neither could we… so we are calling it a new record.

Huge congratulations to Ollie, and his family, for this brilliant achievement.

Scunthorpe United have sealed a loan move for Ben Richards-Everton.

The centre back was signed by Chris Hargreaves last summer and made 19 appearances for the Glovers.

A statement on YTFC.net said: The defender had recently expressed a desire to move closer to home and with this loan move suiting all parties, we have allowed him to join Scunthorpe.

Scunthorpe, who currently sit in 23rd in the National League have been on a recruitment drive since their takeover was completed in January.

We’d wish you the best of luck Ben, but it’s all very tight at the bottom.

Just the one Yeovil Town player out on loan this Tuesday, with Ollie Hulbert racking up another 90 minutes for Leamington.

Unfortunately, his side were on the wrong side of a 1-0 defeat to Buxton a result which drops the Brakes to 22nd in the National League North.

Plymouth Parkway were also in action, but Toby Stephens was not involved in the match day squad, Parkway were 3-0 victors over Dorchester.

There will be no repeat heroics of the 2022 Somerset Men’s Premier Cup triumph as Paulton eliminate Yeovil at the Quarter Final Stage

Mark Cooper named a fairly inexperienced side with plenty of representation from the club’s Under 18 side.

Ollie Haste was the Glovers captain for the evening with only Charlie Wakefield, Malachi Linton and Jordan Young regularly making the first team squad from the outfielders.

Paulton opened the scoring on 35 minutes when Dan McBeam found the net.

Chances came and went for the Glovers with the best of them falling the way of Linton and Will Dawes, who was returning from W*ymouth having not featured for his loan side for a little while.

Despite the introduction of both Benjani Jr and Charlie Bateson, the equaliser proved elusive.

 

That was until 80 minutes, Dawes found the back of the net from the spot after the impressive Haste won the spot kick.

But parity was only short lived as in the 85th minute David O’Hare scored from an Ed Butcher cross.

Salt was shortly added to the wounds as Will Buse was shown a late red card for the Glovers after handling outside his box.
Goalscorer Will Dawes donned the Gloves for the final few minutes.

The game finished without further drama, with the Glovers departing their final cup competition of the season.

Paulton head into the final four, whilst Mark Cooper will prep a much more experienced side for the arrival of Notts County on Saturday.

Yeovil Town Under-18s’ participation in the South West Counties’ Youth League’s Gary Else Memorial Cup ended with a defeat at Torquay United on Saturday.

A hat-trick from their hosts’ Ben Aldous inflicted a 3-1 defeat on the young Glovers whose goal came from defender Harrison Foster and ended their involvement in the league’s round robin cup competition.

The Gulls are managed by former Glovers’ defender Ryan Dickson who took over as Under-18s’ coach from Chris Todd when he left Plainmoor to become Chris Hargreaves’ assistant at Yeovil.

The Under-18s will be looking to put the defeat behind them when they travel to Bournemouth-based BRS Coaching Youth in the league next weekend.

For the club’s other age groups, there were two wins, two defeats and a draw for the sides which play as part of the Yeovil Town Community Sports Trust.

The Under-12s drew with Torquay United in the Junior Premier League whilst  the Under-14s and Under-16s won theirs against Weston-super-Mare, but the north Somerset side defeated the Glovers’ Under-13s and Under-15s.

The Under-11s were without a fixture and took part in a training session at Huish Park.

Another Saturday in the books for the Glovers out on loan and a familiar theme is starting to unfold with results not going the way of their adopted sides.

Still, plenty of match day minutes to talk about…

Let’s start at Leamington where striker Ollie Hulbert played the full 90 in a 3-1 defeat at Bradford (Park Avenue), his side were reduced to ten men just before the hour mark and couldn’t recover. Sam Perry and Ted Cann, both formerly on the books at Yeovil, were also in the Leamington side.

To those who missed out, Ollie Haste was back on the Truro bench after his successful return to the Glovers’ Under-18s side in the National League Cup in midweek, but it was the bench where he stayed as Paul Wotton’s men picked up a 1-0 away win at Gosport Borough. The White Tigers are second in the Southern League Premier Division table, two points behind Weston-super-Mare.

Will Dawes didn’t play for that Claret and Blue lot either. He was, once again, one of the unlucky extra loanees with only five named in the match day squad… W*ymouth lost 2-1 at Hemel Hempstead (maybe try picking your Green and White striker next time, just saying). The seagull bothering lot remain second from bottom of the National League South table.

Sherborne Town were without a fixture, so Benjani Junior and Jake Graziano were both left thumb twiddling this Saturday afternoon. Both played for the Yeovil Under-18s in midweek with Benji on the scoresheet.

However, goalkeeper Rob Hollard and Sam Hodges were both back in the Gillingham side, but ended up on the wrong side of a 4-1 loss away at Bristol Telephones.

Finally, Toby Stephens clocked up an hour for Plymouth Parkway as they drew 0-0 with Hartley Whitney.

Most of these sides have games this coming Tuesday, but with Yeovil in Somerset Men’s Premier Cup action at Paulton Rovers on Tuesday night, it remains to be seen how many of the dual registration lads are with their parent club rather than the first team.

Yeovil Town Under-18s travel to Torquay United in the South West Counties Youth League’s Gary Else Memorial Cup looking to carry on their cup success on Saturday (10.30am kick-off)

The young Glovers picked up a 4-1 win over Boreham Wood in the National League Under-19s Cup in midweek with a number of players who have been out on loan, including one of their goal-scorers Benjani Junior, who is on loan at Sherborne Town, in action.

Last weekend, they won 4-3 in a thrilling tie against Wimborne Town in the league’s robin round cup tournament, their first win in the competition this season.

Their opponents at the South Devon Sports College Centre are managed by Ryan Dickson, who played more than 100 games in a three-year spell at Huish Park.

The club’s other age group sides are also in action in the Junior Premier League with the Under-13s, Under-14s, Under-15s and Under-16s teams all taking on opposition from Weston-super-Mare.

The Under-12s, who play as part of the Yeovil Town Community Sports Trust, will face Torquay United.
