Loan Watch (Page 2)

Late heartbreak for the Glovers on Saturday, but it didn’t go well for our loan watch sides in the National League South either.

Will Buse was not able to save his W*ymouth side from being officially relegated out of the National League South. The ‘keeper has been on the bench in recent games and their 4-1 defeat to Eastbourne means they’ll be in the Southern League next year.

Jordan Thomas was a late substitute for Torquay, but their title challenge took a dent when they conceded twice in the second half to lose at home to Chesham.

The result leaves them fifth in the table, but incredibly, still just three points off the top

Into the regional divisions, and Sherborne’s game against Cowes Sports was called off because of Ferry crossing problems, the perils of playing sides from the Isle of Wight! 

But Wellington did play, they drew 1-1 with Saltash and Jacob Shore backed up a solid midweek 90 minutes with a Man of the Match performance on Saturday.

No game for Bridport, so they, like Sherborne will have to wait for another day. 

Late goals at Huish Park and a fair few goals in the games involving our loanees out and about.

Firstly, no Will Buse for that lot down by the seaside, they beat Slough to keep their slim hopes of staying up alive.

At the other end of the table, Torquay left it late to grab all three points in a 1-0 win over Aveley. The result relegated the part-timers, but kept the Gulls right in the mix at the top.

Jordan Thomas was on for the final ten minutes

Right, into the lower leagues and we start with a goal for young defender Jacob Shore, he got the third for Wellington in a 3-1 win over Welton Rovers.

Can I be honest with you? I’m starting to lose track of how many Young Glovers are in the Sherborne ranks these days, across their first and reserve teams, there are a lot,.

Looking at the image below, I see a Corey Koerner, Jaydon Biss, Blake Watts, Joe Crisp, Morgan Alexander, Ollie Hughes and Josh Haskett. 

They lost 2-0 to AFC Stoneham, but that’s an incredible effort. 


A reminder that Sherborne are offering YTFC season ticket holders £5 entry into their game on Saturday 5th April as the Glovers are away at Altrincham.

Non League Day across the lower leagues up and down the land has been the end to a busy week for the Yeovil Town loanees.

… that is apart from Jordan Thomas, who had a watching brief from the bench as Torquay secured a 1-0 win over Bath City in front of over 5,000 people at Plainmoor.

Will Buse couldn’t do anything about a single Chippenham penalty as his W*ymouth side lost 1-0, the Terras sit 13 points adrift of safety in 23rd. 

 

No Corey Koerner for Sherborne, he was busy making his Senior Men’s Professional Debut (not a bad Saturday!), but The Zebras have still been more than accommodating recently,

In midweek, a young Zebras side including FIVE young YTFC Players (including Blake Watts and Koerner) got a 3-0 win over Fareham Town, on Saturday, Jaydon Biss, Joe Crisp and Morgan Alexander were all in the mix again, 

Morgan Alexander scored from the bench scoring in a thrilling 3-3 draw against Millbrook.

Jacob Shore picked up 90 minutes twice this week for AFC Wellington, in a 1-1 draw in midweek and a 1-0 defeat on Saturday.

Both George Geraghty and Sol Padmore were in the squad for Bridport as they won 3-2 over Stoke Gabriel and Torbay Police FC (catchy name, that)

Another Saturday rolls around and another chance to catch up on how our loanees are getting on out and about.

We start, as we always do, in the National League South.

Will Buse was in goal for W*ymouth as they pulled off an almighty shock beating promotion-chasing Boreham Wood 2-1. The seagull botherers remaining 13 points adrift of safety from relegation, but credit where it’s due for that result.

Torquay United also won. They picked up huge three points in the promotion race with an 1-0 win away at promotion rivals Dorking Wanderers. Full-back Jordan Thomas played the final five or so minutes, replacing former Glover Jay Foulston.

 

Now to our headline game, Sherborne Town picked up a 2-0 win over United Sports Portsmouth FC in the Wessex League Premier Division.

Glovers’ defender Corey Koerner, who has featured on the substitutes’ bench for the first-team recently, scored the decisive second, but we should also mention the three other members of the young YTFC cohort also going well for the Zebras.

Jaydon Biss is a regular in their starting line up at the moment and is a first year Yeovil youngster, Joe Crisp was also used from the bench with Morgan Alexander also a familiar name on their substitutes bench.

 

Now, down at Shaftesbury, there’s a 16-year old by the name of Moss Jackson, who is currently attached to our youth set-up, he scored his first Southern League Division One South goal today in a 5-2 win over Westbury.

Bridport just keep on winning, George Geraghty was once again with them, Sol Padmore has been missing the last few games due to suspension.

Wellington lost 6-1 to high flying Portishead Town, Jacob Shore was on the bench and used towards the end with the game already long gone, he did play the full 90 in a 4-3 win midweek over Oldland Abbotonians, though. 

 

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.

Jacob Shore

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!
