Yeovil Town striker Benjani Junior has been recalled from his loan spell at Dorchester after finding minutes tough to come by.

He was there along with Ollie Haste, but has been out of luck for getting important game time.

Benjani returned for the Men’s Somerset Premier Cup game and scored an important goal for the Glover’s first team in the win at Keynsham.

He how heads out on loan to Melksham Town to get those all important minutes (and goals) under his belt. We will keep you updated on his progress, through our Loan Watch articles.

National League sponsors, Vanarama have named Mark Cooper as their National League Manager of the Week after back to back wins on Saturday and Tuesday.

On Saturday, the Glovers pulled off the late, late show against Worthing and then took the local derby by the scruff of the neck to win 2-0 on Tuesday night in front of a record crowd for the National League South,

The Glovers are on a nine-match winning streak across League and FA Cup and the Gaffer has been given this nod off appreciation for helping make it happen.

Kevin Maher of Southend and Liam McDonald of Rushall Athletic claim the prizes for the other National League divisions.

Good work, Gaffer.

Former Yeovil Town player – and now Bath City Manager – Jerry Gill has thanked Glovers boss Mark Cooper for allowing goalkeeper Will Buse to head to the Romans on a short term deal.

Buse, who joined permanently from Bristol City in the summer – has found himself behind Joe Day in the pecking order for the Gloves and will spend the next 28 days with the Twerton Park outfit.

Speaking after Buses’ debut, a 3-0 win over Taunton, Gill said;

“We got him because he was the easiest one to go and get and I have to thank Mark Cooper, people question it probably and say ‘why has Yeovil given Bath City a ‘keeper?’ , well purely because Mark is good enough to understand he needs to play football, a player of his quality will want to go out and play.”

“Mark has got another very good number one down there and I get on well with Mark, whatever people might think about the rivalry between the two clubs, me playing there at times and having a season there, it’s irrelevant for now, it’s about me managing Bath trying to get the right ‘keeper in.”

“I tried to sign Will before, last year, but we couldn’t quite do it and then he gets his move from Bristol City to Yeovil, which is great, a full time outfit, it’s great, I’m pleased he’s come in, he knows me, I know him, he knew a few of the players, I knew he would be good at distribution, I thought he had an excellent debut.”

The deal means both Will Buse and Lewis Williams are out on loan at Bath and Tiverton respectively with just Joe Day available as a match day goalkeeper option for Mark Cooper at Huish Park.

 

A midweek loan watch, you say? Go on then!

Will Buse joined Bath City on Tuesday morning and was promptly thrown straight into a huge clash at the top of the National League South table and his sheet remained clean as a whistle with the Romans coming out 3-0 winners against Taunton Town.

 Shepton Mallet were in Les Phillips Cup action against Hengrove Athletic. 
Charlie Bateson was on the bench to start with but was introduced into the game shortly after the hour mark, Mallet winning 2-1.

Over at Dorchester, the Magpies went down 2-1 against Sholing. Ollie Haste played the full 90 minutes and nearly scored (another) last minute goal. Benjani Jr was not named in the match day squad.

There were no games for Sherborne or Tiverton with messrs Skiverton and Williams having the night off, Gillingham Town’s game against Bitton AFC was called off with a waterlogged pitch so none of the four young Glovers with the Gills got any game time this evening.  

Yeovil Town Goalkeeper Will Buse has joined Bath City on loan for a month.

Buse, 22, who joined the club on a permanent deal after a loan stint at Huish Park last season has made half a dozen appearances for the Glovers before falling behind Joe Day in the pecking order.

It means that the Glovers have two goalkeepers out on loan with Lewis Williams currently with Tiverton Town.

After opening the scoring out the weekend, Glovers midfielder, Matt Worthington has been named in the official Vanarama team of the week.

Worthy’s Worthing goal makes him worthy of a spot in the side below;

 

We are top of the league… say, we are top of the league.

Ben, Dave and Wattsy break down another late, late show on Saturday as the mighty Glovers went 8 wins in a row and have a little chin wag about the noisy neighbours coming to town on Tuesday night.

Loan watch is getting busier by the minute these days!

Let’s have a wrap up of where we stand.
Firstly, still no Malachi Linton for Taunton as he continues to recover from injury – he’s a regular appearance maker in YTFC’s training clips on HP Source, so he must be close.

Right, off to Sherborne Town, the Zebras went down 3-0 at home to AFC Stoneham (remember them?). Aidan Skiverton was named amongst the substitutes – evidence is light as to whether or not he came on.

Over at Tiverton, Lewis Williams was in goal as Tivvy gave up a 1-0 lead to lose 2-1, the equaliser described as “too good for probably any goalkeeper”, so we’ll probably let him off that one.

How about Dorchester? Well, they fell foul to a 90th minute Hendon winner to fall 1-0.

Ollie Haste was in the line up from the start, it appears Benjani Jr was an unused sub.

Charlie Bateson played 75 minutes for Shepton Mallet in a 1-1 draw against Buckland Athletic

A new addition to Loan Watch now as we pop to Gillingham, where we have quite a lot of involvement.

The Gills won 5-0 against Keynsham Town (remember them?) and a couple of the Young Glovers starred.

Josh Haskett scored twice, Jack Bareham bagged a header. Fin “brother of” Haste also made an appearance from the bench as did Harry Lock

Bareham was taken off at Half Time with a slight knock, whilst Josh was awarded half of a MOTM – shared with Josh Josey. 

This appears to be a fairly new renewal of the relationship with the Gills although Josh has been with the team a little while and had already found the net before yesterday’s game. 

Good work, all.
