We have plenty of Glovers out on loan at the moment including two at Weston-super-Mare, here’s how they all got on.

Goalkeeper Will Buse has been joined by midfielder  Dylan Morgan and both were in the starting line-up for Weston, they got the better of Hornchurch in a five-goal thriller, with Morgan on the scoresheet inside the first five minutes.

The former Taunton Town man also picked up the Man of the Match award as he started his three-month loan stint in some style.

That result backs up a 1-0 win over Maidstone on Bank Holiday Monday and β€˜cleano’ for Buse on that occasion, the Seagulls have now won four in a row and sit in sixth  in the National League South Table.

Down at Plymouth Parkway, last Monday Corey Koerner made his first start in a 0-0 draw with Tiverton Town in the Southern League Premier Division South.

Onto Saturday’s action and Parkway were in the FA Cup, with a fairly comfortable win over Baffins Milton Rovers. Koerner came off the bench with 20 minutes to go.

With the Under 18s having a slightly different schedule this season (more on that to follow in the coming weeks) there are a number of youngsters looking to get some senior experience at a range of different local clubs – We can’t promise to keep tabs on them all, but if anything of note happens, we’ll do our best.

Will Howard, a young goalkeeper who has trained with the first-team and was named on the subs bench during pre-season, is playing for Cullompton Rangers, who have been on a decent run in the South West Peninsula League, which is the tenth tier.

Josh Haskett continues to get minutes for Sherborne – he and some of the Under-18s’ second year lads are getting game time in their first and reserve teams.

Central defender Jacob Shore has recovered from an injury sustained in first-team action in pre-season and is now playing with Street FC – he came off the bench for them on Saturday in a 2-1 win over Torpoint. Krystian Woods, who appeared for the first-team in pre-season, was a second half substitute whilst Sol Padmore was also on the bench for the Cobblers.

Midfielder Mason Alden is back at Welton Rovers here he spent time last season and started their 3-1 defeat at St Blazey yesterday, whilst Max Dyer is with the Oldland Abbotonians who beat 3-1 Shepton Mallet on Saturday in game where former Loan Watch regular, Charlie Bateson was sent-off and Benjani Jr was a substitute.

Nansimir Nanev was a second half substitute for Sturminster Newton United who won 3-0 at home to Hengrove Athletic.

If you’re going to a game with one of our local loanees are in action, let me know if they do anything of note.

Will Buse has back to back wins under his belt as Weston-super-Mare picked up six points across their Tuesday/Saturday double header.

In midweek, the Seagulls were 2-1 victors against Chesham away from home before picking up a very impressive 2-0 win over Chelmsford on Saturday.

Buse played the full 90 in both games and excelled in the Tuesday game in particular.


 Down at Plymouth Parkway, they had a Saturday to forget losing 3-0 to Winchester City.

All three goals came early on in the first half before Parkway managed to stop the flow.

Corey Koerner was on the bench but was brought on with less than ten minutes left on the clock. 

Sherborne we’re in FA Vase action, they drew 1-1 in 90 minutes with the Zebras progressing on penalties.

Josh Haskett was named amongst the subs but didn’t make the pitch, which is a shame

Sherborne head into the 2nd Round of the FA Vase.

Will Buse was in goal for Weston-super-Mare as they travelled to newly promoted Enfield Town in the National League South.

The Seagulls lost 1-0 to a single Sam Youngs goal from the penalty spot with 39 minutes on the clock, as you can see from the clip below, Buse nearly got a finger tip to the spot kick, but it was too well placed and too powerful

 

Meanwhile, down at Plymouth Parkway, Corey Koerner was a late sub for Parkway in their 1-1 draw with both Havant and Waterlooville.

Sherborne started (and finished) their FA Cup adventure with an away tie with Westfield FC. The home side winning 3-1.
Josh Haskett was named on the bench, he did make an appearance, coming on in the second half as the Zebras chased a goal to bring the tie level.

The return of a new season and therefore the return of Loan Watch.

Former Bristol City goalkeeper Will Buse joined Weston-super-Mare on the eve of the National League South season and his debut was an eventful one. 

At half time, Weston were 3-0 up and cruising, but a 96th minute penalty from Worthing would break hearts and mean the away side took the three points. 

 

Elsewhere, we do have one youngster out on loan in the form of Josh Haskett. He is with Sherborne Town (alongside Messrs Skiverton Jnr and Graziano who were once of this parish too) in the Wessex League Premier Division.

Josh has made a couple of appearances, both from the bench, including in the Zebras’ 2-0 defeat at Hamble Town on Saturday.

Josh Haskett

As you will discover in a later post, Under-18s’ full-back Corey Koerner was also an unused substitute on the bench for Plymouth Parkway.

The youngster has played a number of times for the first team in pre-season before joining the Southern League Premier Division South side. He watched on as they went down 3-1 at home to Basingstoke Town on the opening day.

The move was announced by Yeovil on Sunday afternoon.

In what might be the final full Loan Watch round up of the season, there was play off heartbreak, a trophy and a couple goals for good measure.

Firstly, Jordan Maguire-Drew didn’t feature for Barnet as they were humbled in the National League Play Offs.

Bees’ manager said he was expecting a large overhaul of his squad for next season, at the time of writing it’s not known if they intend to take up their option on JMD.

Will Buse has been thanked for his time at Bath City after they conceded an incredibly late goal in their play off quarter final to Braintee.

Buse actually came close to scoring a late winner in the game from his own penalty area! 

The former Bristol City man returns to Huish Park where he remains under contract for the 2024/25 season.

 

Onto Dorchester where Ollie Haste played an hour in their final game of the season, but post match was rewarded with the Supporters’ Player of the Season award.

 

Haste leaves the Glovers at the end of his contract with two National League appearances to his name and is – to the best of our knowledge – the youngest person to Captain the Men’s team in a first team fixture after skippering the side in the Somerset Men’s Premier Cup last season.

Ollie Haste celebrates putting Dorchester Town 2-0 up in their 4-1 home win over Basingstoke Town.

Benjani’s time at Yeovil also draws to a close, he’s been at Melksham for most of this season and spent the final day of their season on the bench. Benjani played in the final day game of thr 22/23 season away at Boreham Wood as well making plenty of friendly and SMPC appearances.

Shepton Mallet didn’t have a game this past weekend, but Charlie Bateson has one more engagement with them, the Les Phillips Cup final later in May.

Down at Gillingham, they’ve been going at three games a week for a while now and ad such there’s been plenty of game time for some of our Under 18s.

On Thursday just gone, Josh Haskett, Harry Lock and Harrison Foster started with Jack Bareham coming on from the bench. A good first half with Harry Lock assisting a Josh Haskett goal to make it 1-1 at half time. Bitton had the run of the second half to win 4-1.

Whilst on Saturday, Josh Haskett, Harry Lock, Harrison Foster and Jack Bareham all starting. It was a tough fixture for the end of the season and with injuries mounting for the Gills they went out 6-0 down. 

hosh Haskett ended the season as joint top scorer for the Gills. All the Yeovil lads worked really hard for the team and are grateful to Gillingham for having them πŸ‘

(Huge thanks to Ian Haskett for helping with Loan Watch throughout the season)

Jack Bareham (9) scores for Gillingham

Finally at Welton Rovers, it’s been a tough campaign, but it ended on a real high with Jacob Shore scoring a last minute equaliser in a 4-4 draw, a game which saw Max Dyer given Rovers Man of the Match after a goal and assist of his own.

 

Mason Alden was also involved and like the other lads have really appreciated Welton’s hospitality this season.

On the final day they lost to Saltash, but again plenty more game time for the young Glovers, and after the drama of a 4-4 draw with two YTFC-related scorers… we won’t worry too much about that one.

(Another huge Thank You to Daniel Shore for his help and information this season)

Finally, from Gloverscast Ben a huge Thank You to those who have read Loan Watch this season, I hope it’s been interesting to see how the first team lads – and maybe more so, the youngsters in the Under 18s – are getting on.

The Yeovil Town first team might be on the first flight out of Gatwick bound for Barcelona, but there are still some Glovers still with games to play.

In the National League – Jordan Maguire-Drew wasn’t involved in Barnet’s final league game, they beat relegated Kidderminster 4-1. They get their play-off campaign underway this coming week.

As do Bath City, they along with Will Buse will head to Braintree on Tuesday after finishing the regular season in 6th after a final day defeat to Aveley.

 

Dorchester had a double header of a week, beating Tiverton on Tuesday 2-0 (say that three times fast!) and then falling to defeat in their final away day of the season against Basingstoke.
Ollie Haste played in both, the latter result ended a wonderful run of results and ended their fairly slim chances of extending their season into the play offs.

Melksham lost 3-0 to Bristol Manor Farm on Saturday, Benjani was on the bench, information is light as to if he came on or not.

Shepton Mallet pulled off a wonderful 2-0 win over Falmouth on Saturday, the only team to beat the 2nd placed side home and away.

Charlie Bateson started and played an hour before coming off, he also played… and scored in midweek, in a 2-1 defeat.

There are few busier teams than Gillingham at the moment, a number of games last week and three more this week;

They lost 2-1 to Wincanton, drew 1-1 with AEK Bocko and were beaten comfortably by league winners Portishead with only 10men.

The numerous young Glovers; Harry Lock, Harrison Foster, Jack Bareham and Josh Haskett were involved throughout, with Lock scoring in the Wincanton game.

Welton Rovers got their first win since October with a 3-2 victory over Millbrook, Max Dyer, Jacob Shore and Mason Alden all playing in the game and getting a much deserved result.

The Glovers were picking up silverware at Huish Park, but a few other employees were out and about doing their thing too, here’s how they got on this week out on loan.

Barnet first and they confirmed a home Play Off semi final in the National League Premier with a 2-0 over Halifax (in Accrington), Jordan Maguire Drew was an unused sub.

Will Buse is making post season plans too with Bath – technically they’re not mathematically confirmed with a top seven finish, a point will do that on the final day – but they did beat Torquay 1-0 on Saturday… that’s a cleano!

Down at Dorchester, Ollie Haste helped his side come from behind to beat Hanwell 2-1 and in the process confirm their league status for next season too. 

Melksham had a big week picking up six points from two games, Benjani Jr was involved in both match day squads, both occasions on the bench, but details are fairly limited as to whether or not he played much.

It was also a six point week for Shepton Mallet, Charlie Bateson starting both games but couldn’t add to his impressive goal tally

If you want goals, you want Gillingham matches.

Four young Glovers; Harrison Foster, Jack Bareham, Harry Lock and Josh Haskett started both games for the Gills this week, Haskett scored a couple and Foster got one in a 5-3 defeat to Wells in midweek, on Saturday, Haskett bagged again, but a second half Hallen FC turnaround saw them win 7-2.

Welton Rovers have had a busy week;

On Tuesday they drew 0-0 with Nailsea and Tickenham, on Thursday they drew 3-3 with Oldland and on Saturday they lost 3-2 to Buckland.

Plenty of minutes for all of Jacob Shore, Max Dyer and Mason Alden.

Whilst things were going a little… pear shaped… for the Glovers at Huish Park there was plenty of action for the loanees out and about.

Firstly, upwards and Jordan Maguire-Drew wasn’t in the match day squad for high flying Barnet.

In the NLS, Bath City picked up a 1-1 draw in tough conditions at Twerton Park against Tonbridge Angels.

Will Buse played the full 90 for the Romans.

Dorchester continued their good run of form with a 1-0 win over Hayes and Yeading. Ollie Haste once more put in a solid 90 minutes for the Magpies.

Melksham played out an eight-goal thriller against Evesham, but unfortunately they conceded five of them. Benjani Jr was on the bench, information is a little thin on the ground as to whether or not he came on.

Shepton v Buckland was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch – The Mallet’s fixture list starting to pile up. Charlie Bateson will have to wait for more game time.

There were eight goals in Gillingham Town’s game against Brislington.

Again, unfortunately, the Gills only scored one of them – albeit coming from the boot of Harry Lock. Jack Bareham, Harrison Foster and Josh Haskett all started the game.

Welton Rovers v St Blazey also fell foul to the weather.

Here’s how the Glovers out on loan did this past Bank Holiday Monday – for most of them, it was a good day at the office.

Starting in the National League and Barnet got a 3-1 win over Oxford City, Jordan Maguire-Drew got the final ten minutes or so as the Bees look to solidify second place in the table.

In the National League South, there was a Cleano for Will Buse at Bath.

They beat Taunton at Wordsworth Drive 2-0, Buse was named in the Vanarama Team of the Day for Friday for his performance and picked up another three points today.

To Dorchester, and Ollie Haste played the full 90 for the Magpies in a feisty affair, they beat Tiverton 2-1 and both sides had a player sent off.

Down at Melksham, Benjani Jr was back in the starting line up, but they fell 2-1 to Frome Town in front of a crowd of over 1000.

Benjani was taken over just after the hour mark.

Welton Rovers had a tough afternoon, losing 8-2 against Falmouth. Jacob Shore was involved from the start for Rovers, Max Dyer was on the bench.

Finally, over at Gillingham, they picked up a 1-0 wn over Middlezoy Rovers and it was Josh Haskett who got the only goal of the game.

Jack Bareham, Harrison Foster and Harry Lock were also involved.

Whilst the Glovers were giving Torquay a bit of a battering at Huish Park… some (but not all) of our loanees beat the weather, here’s how they got on.

Firstly, Jordan Maguire-Drew was an unused sub in Barnet’s 2-2 draw with Solihull Moors.

Bath City drew 1-1 with W*ymouth, Will Buse was in goal for the Romans and played well.

Melksham drew 1-1 with Malvern, Benjani Jr was named on the bench, but information on if he came on is hard to come by.

Dorchester play on Saturday, away at Winchester, Gillingham didn’t play at all due to the weather, and it was a similar story for Welton who were also beaten by the weather.

So, onto our headline and Charlie Bateson and Shepton Mallet, who played Street in something of a derby clash,

Despite being named on the bench initially, Bateson came on to score the only goal of the game in a 1-0 win.
