A defeat on the road for the Glovers’ first team on Saturday afternoon, but the lads out and about on loan had a slightly better time of things, for the most part anyway.

Torquay now have an eight-point buffer on 8th placed side Weston-super-Mare after a tough 1-0 win over Tonbridge Angels.

They did so thanks to Jordan Young’s 10th goal of the season, with Jordan Thomas playing the full 90 for the gulls. 

At the other end of the table, Not-quite-as-bad-as-Aveley… or to give them their full title, W*ymouth – needed a 95th minute equaliser against St Albans. Will Buse was once again between the sticks.

The Terras remain a full 10-points behind 20th placed Enfield Town.

Into the regional leagues and Jacob Shore was back in action for Wellington, they got beaten 4-0 by the league leaders Portishead in midweek and fell 2-1 to Brislington on Saturday, Shore played in both games, clocking up over 150 minutes across the two fixtures.

Sherborne lost 3-1 to Baffins Milton Rovers, Joe Crisp was on the bench for the Zebras, who were without Corey Koerner this week as he was away on international duty with England Colleges.

Sherborne Reserves drew 3-3 with Blanford Utd, whilst team news is hard to come by, the Zebras normally include a couple of young Glovers.

There were late goals for Bridport as they beat Stoke Gabriel and Torbay Police (catchy name!) 3-1. George Geraghty was used from the bench.

The National League wasn’t short of goals this past Saturday and it wasn’t just the Glovers’ first team who ended up as a stalemate.

Jordan Thomas was in the starting line up for Torquay United, who went 2-0 up and were leading beyond the 80th minute, before two late goals dragged Boreham Wood back into the game to share the points in a big game at the top of the National League South.

 

W*ymouth, with Will Buse between the sticks, must have thought they were in for a vital three points at the other end of the table when Malachi Linton put them 2-1 up against Hornchurch, but in the end, Linton was needed to salvage a point late on – 3-3 on the day.

Corey Koerner was on the Glovers bench, so wasn’t involved for Sherborne, however Joe Crisp was on their bench, Jacob Shore was unavailable for Wellington.

George Geraghty scored from the bench for Bridport as they walloped Torrington 6-0.

Normally, these are quite formulaic; Torquay won, W*ymouth lost… see you next week.

But not this time, this Loan Watch is flipped on it’s head.

As the title suggests, our seagull bothering friends – with Will Buse in goal – overcame Aveley by a 4-1 scoreline in the game between 24th and 23rd in the NLS.

Three of the scorers were ex-Glovers with Linton, Goodship and Genesini all bagging.

 

Whilst Torquay actually fell at the hands of Chelmsford and lost a little ground in the race for the Top Spots.

Jordan Thomas played the full 90, and despite a Matt Jay goal from the half way line, the Gulls lost 3-2 despite leading 2-1 in the 85th minute!

Sherborne had both their first team and reserve games called off, but with Corey Koerer representing England Colleges on Friday, it was unlikely he would have played.

Wellington was waterlogged so no game for Jacob Shore, but Bridport did get a game in, they lost 1-0 against Bishop’s Lydeard.

Sol Padmore and George Geraghty were both used from the bench.

With another poor weather weekend, there will be plenty of midweek games coming up for local sides and maybe a few YTFC youngsters getting some game time in.

Let’s distract ourselves from the game at Huish Park for a moment and take a check in on those of a Green and White persuasion who are out and about on loan.

There wasn’t much to talk about with pretty much only our two loanees in the division below getting game time.

Firstly, Torquay closed the gap on Dorking at the top of the National League South table with a win over Hornchurch.

Jordan Thomas clocked up another 90 minutes and nearly scored for the Gulls.

At the other end of the table, W*ymouth remain rooted to the bottom, they lost 3-0 to Farnborough, Will Buse made an error for the first  goal, whilst Brandon Goodship missed a penalty… (you’re thinking about Grant Smith’s hips again, aren’t you?)

 

Sherborne, Wellington and Bridport games were all called off. So there was limited action for the Under 18s this weekend.

The Yeovil Town first team were picking up a point away in London, but what of the cohort of players out and about?

We start in the National League South, where defender Jordan Thomas helped his Torquay United side to a huge three points in the hunt for a play-off spot.

The Yellows left it late, but two goals after the 85 minute mark gave them all three points against fellow promotion contenders Eastbourne Borough.

There was also a big clash at the other end of the table where W*ymouth, Will Buse between the sticks, were on the wrong end a 3-1 score line against Chesham. Ex-Glover Brooklyn Genesini with the only goal for the Terras, his third goal in just two games.

 

Into the  lower leagues, and Sherborne Town had their game called off because of a waterlogged pitch, as did Wellington AFC, which meant empty weekends for Corey Koerner and Jacob Shore.

Down at Bridport, Sol Padmore and George Geraghty were both involved in their 4-2 win over Torridgeside AFC.

Earlier in the week, there was unfortunate news about Yeovil youngster Nansimir Nanev, who suffered a bad injury of Boxing Day, his loan club Sturminster Newton confirmed he ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament and will be out for a while.

We join Sturminster in wishing Nanev a swift recovery.

No game for the Yeovil Town first team, but that doesn’t mean that Yeovil players weren’t in action.

We start in the National League South where… and we’ve double checked here… W*ymouth scored FIVE, including two fantastic strikes from Brooklyn Genesini.

Will Buse was between the sticks for the Terras and had a great view of the action at the other end. The result means they’re now just 11 points from safety.

 Jordan Thomas played the full 90 for Torquay United, they lost 1-0 to Maidstone, to lose a little bit of ground at the top of an incredibly tight table.

Into the regional leagues and Corey Koerner scored a direct free kick for Sherborne in their 3-1 win over Blackfield and Langley. Joe Crisp was named on the bench for the Zebras too and came on in the second half.

George Geraghty scored from the bench for Bridport in their convincing 5-1 win over Okehampton. Sol Padmore was also in the starting line up.

 

Other games with Yeovil interest were called off, it’s still a bit damp in the South West region!

Saturday, was NOT a good day to be a YTFC player either at Spotland or anywhere else for that matter.

Let’s wrap this up quickly shall we.

Jordan Thomas and Torquay lost to Hampton & Richmond, his former club 1-0. Thomas nearly snatched a late equaliser with a backheel, too.,

Will Buse was helpless to prevent Enfield Town taking an 83rd minute lead against W*ymouth. But he would see his side salvage a point a the end in a battle of the National League South’s basement sides.

Sherborne took the lead against Hythe & Dibden. But they would lose 4-1… and lose a player in the process.

Corey Koerner was named on the bench, we’ll let you know if there’s any evidence that he came on.

Sol Padmore started for Bridport, George Geraghty was used from the bench in their 2-0 win over Middlezoy. 

Jacob Shore wasn’t named in Shaftesbury’s squad in their 0-0 draw with Tavistock.

No game for Yeovil on Saturday, but there’s still a few Yeovil loanee out and about on loan.

At Torquay, they came from behind to snatch a point against St Albans in the National League South.

Jordan Young from the spot with their goal, but we’re focusing on Jordan Thomas who played the full 90 minutes once again.

Torquay are top of the table, at the other end, W*ymouth are bottom.

They fell 1-0 to Worthing today, Will Buse played the full game for them after extending his loan spell until the end of the season.

Corey Koerner started for Sherborne in their away game at Millbrook, but that game was never completed. Abandoned at Half Time due to floodlight failure.

Jacob Shore is now with Shaftesbury, he came off the bench in their 2-2 draw with Bashley.

As ever, team news is hard to come by for one or two others, George Geraghty was in the squad for Bridport Reserves – they drew 1-1 with Sherborne Reserves on Monday (who themselves were likely to have a couple of names we might recognise) but, we can’t find team sheets, or much in the way of detail.

Saturday was a bit of a frosty one across the South West and so this might not be the longest edition of Loan Watch.

In the National League South, Jordan Thomas wasn’t involved for Torquay, serving a suspension after a recent red card.

Whilst Will Buse had to pick the ball out of the W*ymouth net on three occasions, including from a wonderful Rhys Murphy strike as Dorking got the better of a five-goal thriller.

Corey Koerner was named on the bench for Sherborne in their 1-0 defeat to AFC Portchester, the scorer on the day, one Brett Pitman!

Whilst the Reserves at Sherborne didn’t play today, we’ve noticed that Joe Crisp and Blake Watts have been involved in their set up recently too, both had scored for the Under 18s this season and both are regularly playing for the Zebras squad too.

Bridport – who had Sol Padmore in their line up – were 3-0 down as the clock ticked beyond the hour mark.

But a remarkable comeback saw them snatch a point, the equaliser coming  from the head of our very own George Geraghty.

So, whilst the Under 18s may not be involved in their own league, plenty of young Glovers are out and about getting game time in the local divisions.

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!
