Yeovil Town Women have had their division and opponents confirmed for the 2025/26 season following the FA’s League Allocations were released.

Like last year the Glovers will play in the South West Regional Football League – Divison 1 South.

This is the equivalent of Tier 6 in the Women’s game.

Some new opponents this season including Appledore – which sounds like a dessert Harry Potter might eat – Banwell and Wells City.

Fixture specifics, dates, venues and all that jazz will follow in time.

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.

The Romans remain in the National League South where, of course the two sides crossed paths last season, goals from Frank Nouble and Jordan Young securing the points at Huish Park, whilst a late Morgan Williams goal secured the goods away from home.

Tickets for the pre-season game are not yet on sale, but we do know that the game will kick off at 3pm.
