Yeovil Town host Woking in National League action this Saturday, 11th January and a fairly familiar referee will take charge.

Paul Johnson was the man in the middle for the Glovers’ 0-0 draw with Sutton United earlier on this season and he will be again at the weekend.

In total, he dished out seven yellow cards on that day with Charlie Cooper, Dom Bernard, Morgan Williams and Alex Whittle all having their name taken. 

Our Match Report does note late on that; “Ashley Nadesan goes in the referee’s book for a very (very!) late challenge on Alex Whittle right in front of the dug-outs. Whittle looks to land heavily on his shoulder and soon after he goes down inside the box for some treatment. Nadesan on the other hand is substituted with his manager maybe recognising his player may have been lucky to only given a yellow.”

It would be an injury that would keep Whittle out for a bit. 

Since that game, Mr Johnson has officiated three other National League ties including a 6-0 thrashing for Solihull who gave Ebbsfleet a pasting in a game which saw two players sent off, including Solihull’s James Clarke after just six minutes – and they still went on to win 6-0!

In total, we’ve seen him three times as our ref; two draws and a 3-0 loss at home to Oldham in April 2023.

No game for the Glovers, but some Yeovil Town players did get a run out on Saturday.

Starting with Weston-super-Mare who lost 2-0 away at Tonbridge Angels.

But, whilst that’s a negative, it did see the return of Harvey Greenslade who may have missed their New Year’s Day clash through illness, but was back in the squad, making an appearance from the bench.

Will Buse and his W*ymouth side are out of the FA Trophy, Boreham Wood getting the better of that clash, 2-1.

The only cup they’ll have to worry about are those commemorative ones from the last round.

Torquay are now also “focusing on the league” after dropping out of the Trophy.

Jordan Thomas played the full 90 of their 5-1 defeat to Worthing.

Corey Koerner’s Sherborne had their game called off, but he still got a run out in their reserves.

Scoring one of their two goals in a 4-2 defeat.

Down at Bridport, Sol Padmore (from the start) and George Geraghty (from the bench) got game time in their 4-2 win over Bovey Tracey.

Yeovil Town’s home league clash with Boston United, originally scheduled for Saturday 1st February, has been postponed.

Boston have progressed to the next round of the FA Trophy with a 3-1 win over Gateshead this weekend and as a result their next game in that competition takes precedent.

There’s no confirmed rescheduled date as yet, as soon as it’s confirmed, we’ll let you know.

Football going on all over the shop over the festive period and plenty of the loanee Glovers were involved.

One that wasn’t involved was Harvey Greenslade, who missed Weston-super-Mare’s 3-1 defeat to Chippenham through illness.

There was a cleano for Will Buse in W*ymouth’s 0-0 draw with Salisbury.

… and as the headline suggests, Jordan Thomas got in a spot of bother with the officials in Torquay’s game with Truro.

Thankfully, his 83rd minute minute sending off didn’t prevent them from getting all three points to keep them top of the National League South.

Some chap called Jordan Young scored their winner.

Into the regional leagues and Sherborne didn’t play on New Year’s Day, but they did pick up a 1-0 win on December 29th, Josh Haskett was used from the bench in that one, but Corey Koerner didn’t play as he was involved for the U18s.

 

Down at Tavistock, Jacob Shore ended his time with the Lambs with a lovely ending, a goal!

We’ve got a New Year’s Day clash at Forest Green Rovers to look forward to and with it, a Yeovil Town debut (of sorts).

Referee James Oldham has never refereed Yeovil Town, but will make his first appearances in the middle for one of our games on this occasion.

He’s officiated 13 games so far this season, dishing out 58 yellow cards and five red ones.

Two of those red cards came in a feisty game between Altrincham and Woking, Alty reduced to 10 fairly early on, before our old mate Dale Gorman thought it might be fairer to even the numbers up later on.

He has officiated FGR games five times, but not for a while. The last time he did, he gave Corey O’Keefe of Rovers two yellow cards in the 89th and 92nd minute!

He’ll be assisted by his assistants; Scott Chalkley and Harley McKittrick and Ash Clarke has fourth official duties.

Yeovil Town have, tentatively, been linked with Boston United defender Cameron Green.

Sports Journalist Pete O’Rourke has said that an ‘offer’ for the full back has been made with a view to a move in January.

Of course, Transfer Windows don’t actually apply to us, so there’s no reason why things can’t progress before the calendar flips to 2025.

As with the Ed James/West Ham thing… we take all these things with the required pinch of salt.

Cam Green was in the Boston side that lost 3-1 to the Glovers earlier in the summer.

It was late heartbreak for the Glovers on Boxing Day, with a late Eastleigh equaliser, there’s was late goals in some of our loanee’s games too.

Harvey Greenslade was back in the Weston-super-Mare starting line up for their clash away at Truro, all was well for the Seagulls as the clock ticked beyond 90 minutes, a Reuben Reid goal (assisted by Greenslade) was all that separated the sides, but a late Truro goal snatched a point.

 

It was a battle of the Glovers loanees as Jordan Thomas’ Torquay took on Will Buse’s W*ymouth.

The game ended 2-2 with both of our players in their respective starting line ups.

Into the regional divisions and Tavistock found a 95th minute equaliser against Cribbs FC, unfortunately Jacob Shore was an unused sub, Sol Padmore started for Bridport as they made light work of Axminster Town 4-0.

That, is pretty much that with Sherborne not playing until Saturday.
