League One side Cardiff City will head to Huish Park for a friendly on Tuesday 15th July.

The game kicks off at 7:30pm and will be Cardiff’s first friendly on English soil after they complete a trip to Spain during the pre-season schedule.

The game sits in between games against Chippenham and Bristol Rovers.

The Glovers took on Cardiff City in a famous FA Cup Third Round tie in 1999, after a 1-1 draw at Ninian Park, the game at Huish Park looked to be heading towards a similar scoreline, before an uncharacteristic error from Tony Pennock saw his roll out skip off the turf and into the reaches of a Bluebirds forward who slid the ball home. 

We last faced off against them in a friendly in 2014, where Adam Le Fondre and Kenwyne Jones were on the score sheet in a 4-1 win; AJ Leitch-Smith opening with the Glovers’ goal in front over 2000 fans.

Cardiff City Starting XI:Marshall, Brayford, John, Ralls, Hudson ©, Turner, Burgstaller, Dikgacoi, Le Fondre, Guerra, Daehli

Substitutions:Connolly, Moore, Kim, Fabio, Jones, Gunnarsson, Mutch, Whittingham, Eikrem, Maynard, Cala

Goals: Le Fondre (56), Connolly (62), Jones (73, 90)

Yeovil Town Starting XI:Krysiak, Moloney, Smith, Edwards ©, Sokolik, Martin, Dawson, Foley, Moore, Leitch-Smith, Hoskins

It might all be a bit of hot air, and there’s every chance it all blows over, but Yeovil Town have been linked with striker James Gale.

Sports Journalist Pete O’Rourke has suggested that the Mansfield Town forward has a number of contract offers on the table, including from Gateshead, Altrincham, Aldershot… and the Glovers.

Gale does have another year on his contract at the Stags, having extended his deal in the summer of 2024, so a fee could well be involved if any move were to come to fruition.

He scored six goals in 30 games in the National League in the season just gone, he spent time at both Boston and Solihull on loan, but oddly, missed both games against Yeovil when his sides headed to Huish Park.

How true any of this is, we have no idea, but it’s nice to fill the summer void with a little bit of transfer rumour and speculation, isn’t it?

Yeovil Town will host Bristol Rovers in a dedicated ‘Match for Marcus’ during the upcoming pre-season.

The game is set for Saturday 19th July with a 3pm Kick Off.

Marcus Stewart is considered something of legend of both sides and with the front man leaving the Glovers’ coaching staff this summer the friendly will be dedicated to his legacy at both clubs as well as his ongoing battle with Motor Neurone Disease and the fundraising campaign he has undertaken.

Yeovil hosted the Gas as a part of the pre-season campaign last season too, with Rovers coming out 3-0 winners, one of their goals scored by one Kofi Shaw.

Tickets will be available soon.
