Yeovil Town lost away at Chelmsford, but the loanees dotted about the football landscape didn’t fair much better.

This wrap up won’t take long.

Jordan Maguire-Drew wasn’t involved for Barnet in their 2-0 win over York City.

There was no game for W*ymouth and thus, for Malachi Linton. However, he did score and was named Terras’ player of the match in their 4-2 defeat to Hampton and Richmond on Tuesday night.

Dropping down the divisions, Dorchester left it late to snatch a 2-2 draw with Hendon. Ollie Haste played the full 90.

Benjani Jr came off the bench in Melksham’s 0-0 with Willand Rovers, he got little over half an hour to make a difference, but was unable to break the deadlock.

Shepton lost out 1-0 to Barnstaple, Charlie Bateson started the game and was taken off in the 63rd minute after trying his best to find a breakthrough.

Aidan Skiverton was named on the bench for Sherborne who lost out 5-2 to AFC Stoneham (remember them) in the Wessex League.

Finally, Mother Nature won in the battle to get the Gillingham Town and Welton Rovers games on.

The Glovers got the job done at Huish Park on Saturday, here’s how the cohort of loanees did out and about.

Firstly, no Jordan Maguire-Drew for Barnet, he wasn’t named in the match day squad after being forced to miss last week’s FA Trophy Cup Tie.

Anyway, on to those who did play, and Malachi Linton did his bit for his parent club by scoring against 2nd place Worthing in the National League South, it’s a shame the rest of his W*ymouth team mates didn’t help him out though.

Worthing ran out 4-1 winners, despite having TWO players sent off. 

As the headline suggests, he wasn’t the only scorer, Ollie Haste got the first of Dorchester’s three goals in their win over Bracknell Town.

 

Charlie Bateson clocked up 60 more minutes for Shepton Mallet, they won 3-0 against Welton Rovers.

This game was some something of a Loan Watch Derby (El LoanWatchico?) Welton had both Max Dyer and Jacob Shore in their starting line up playing directly up against Bateson…

Welton were reduced to nine men shortly before the hour mark, which makes their performance in defence all the more admirable, Dyer was booked in the game too. Mason Alden was used from the bench with 20 or so minutes to go.

The games involving Sherborne, Melksham and Gillingham were all postponed due to waterlogged pitches.

Three more points for the Glovers in the National League South, here’s how the loanees got on out and about.

Firstly, Barnet had an FA Trophy tie, which meant Jordan Maguire-Drew had to sit out, he’s cup tied.

Into the NLS, Malachi Linton played the full 90 for W*ymouth, they lost 1-0 to play off chasing Chelmsford.

Dorchester were 3-0 down inside half an hour against Gosport Borough, Ollie Haste started the game, but was sacrificed on 68 minutes as the Magpies gambled to get players forward.

Melksham “did enough to win the game” according to their manager after falling short in their fixture against Tavistock. Benjani Jr was dropped to the bench but was introduced just before the hour mark, but it wasn’t to be.

Gillingham, Welton Rovers and Sherborne were all postponed which just leaves us with the headline on Charlie Bateson.

 

He scored both goals for Shepton in their 2-2 draw with Wellington AFC, his goals actually had the Mallet two goals in front, before a late rally from the home side.

The match ended on a sad note though, in the very final minutes of added on time in the second half, the Shepton goalkeeper Tom Roberts was taken off with a nasty looking injury, the game actually ended early, final confirmation that the result stands lies at the feet of the League, but we join both sides in with the ‘keeper well for his recovery.

Well, it wasn’t to be for the Glovers this Saturday afternoon, but what of the loanees out and about in Loanee Land.

The first thing to note is that Alex Fisher is back with his parent club after the expiry of his loan stint at Oxford City, the front man did play from the start in midweek for Oxford though, in their county cup game before returning to Yeovil and making a cameo from the bench in the defeat to Maidstone,

Also in the National League Prem, Jordan Maguire-Drew started for Barnet in a 1-1 draw against Wealdstone. He was a threat throughout and was taken off just after the hour mark.

Right, into the NLS and Malachi Linton was in the goals for W*ymouth, the front man bagged the first of their FOUR goals in a seven goal thriller against Hemel Hempstead – we’re not keen on the tweet though, Admin. 

 

Dorchester were reduced to 10-men after just 10 minutes in their game against Didcot Town (remember them), but the Magpies still got a 1-0 win and Ollie Haste played the full game.

Melksham Town lost 4-1 to Yate Town, Benjani Jr started but was taken off towards the end in the defeat.

It was a good week for Charlie Bateson, he scored in midweek for Shepton and clocked up 71 minutes in their 1-0 win over Ilfracombe on Saturday.

Down at Gillingham, a trio of young Glovers started in their 1-0 loss to Hengrove Athletic; Josh Haskett, Jack Bareham and Harrison Foster all in from the beginning, Harry Lock came on in the second half in some tough and heavy conditions.

Aidan Skiverton started on the bench for Sherborne in their 1-0 win over Cowes Sports, whilst Welton Rovers fought back from 2-0 down to grab a point in their game against Wellington AFC.

Jacob Shore and Max Dyer both played the full 90 in a dramatic fixture.

Another week goes by, for some of our Glovers loanees it was a double match week, let’s wrap things up.

We start, as ever in the National League where Barnet played on both Tuesday and Saturday and lost them both.

Jordan Maguire-Drew started in the 2-0 loss to Oldham and was introduced into the game after 70 minutes of their 2-1 defeat to Gateshead on Saturday.

Alex Fisher had two games for Oxford and played even less time, he started in Oxford’s 2-1 defeat to York City, but was taken off at half time, he was introduced from the bench in the 89th minute as his side recorded a much needed win over Ebbsfleet on Saturday.

Into the National League South and Malachi Linton started both of W*ymouth’s two games this week, completing 81 minutes against Taunton, which they won 2-0 and the full 90 in their 1-0 win over lowly Dartford too. 

There was a cleano and 90 minutes more for Ollie Haste as Dorchester drew 0-0 with Plymouth Parkway.

Melksham lost 5-1 to Larkhall, but that one strike did come from Glovers loanee Benjani Jr 

 Sherborne beat Cowes Sports FC 4-2, Aidan Skiverton was named on the bench, no evidence as to if he came off the bench though… there is evidence though that Charlie Bateson did.

He came on in the 66th minute against Nailsea and Tickenham. The Mallet won 3-1, Bateson nearly added a fourth in the dying stages.

Welton Rovers put out a rather young side against Falmouth and were beaten resoundingly 6-0. Max Dyer, Mason Alden and Jacob Shore all started.

Gillingham won 1-0 against Chedder too, Harrison Foster started with Jack Bareham, Harry Lock and Josh Haskett all named on the bench… I assume at least one of them got on to the pitch, but the Social Media coverage of the game is somewhat lacking.

It’ll come of no great surprise that thr weather was the real winner this weekend.

In fact, only two Glovers loanees got any game time this weekend.

At Dorchester, defender Ollie Haste played the full 90 minutes in a 3-2 win over Merthyr Town.

The Magpies were 1-0 down at the break and their manager Tom Killick saw red at half time.

The only other YTFC connection to get on the pitch was young striker Charlie Bateson.

He was used as a second half sub with Shepton Mallett losing 2-0 to Helston.

… and that was it.

Barnet, Oxford City, W*ymouth, Sherborne Town, Melksham Town, Welton Rovers and Gillingham Town all fell foul to the weather.

The Glovers might have been enjoying a short winter break with a gap in the fixtures, but the plethora of Loanees we have out and about have still been in action.

Starting with the headline news that Bath City have reported that Goalkeeper Will Buse has suffered a broken finger in training.

The Romans had to get in an emergency loan from Bristol City for their FA Trophy defeat to Coalville, speaking after the game, Jerry Gill said that “late on Thursday night in training, Will Buse breaks his finger and we have until 12 o clock on Friday to get someone in” 

Obviously, we hope it’s not too serious and Will can get back between the sticks as soon as possible.

 

No game for Oxford City, they had a blank weekend having already dropped out of the FA Trophy, so no action for Alex Fisher.

Nothing for Jordan Maguire-Drew either, Barnet did have an FA Trophy tie, but because of his game time for Yeovil against Torquay earlier in the competition, he was cup tied. – He did however play the full 90 in midweek as the Bees beat Dagenham. 

JM-D’s left footed cross set up Nicke Kabamba for the first Bees goal.

 

W*ymouth picked a huge three points in the relegation dog fight at the bottom of the National League South, Malachi Linton played for two whole minutes at the end of the 90. 

Dorchester picked up a vital three points away at Harrow Borough, the Magpies won 2-0 with Ollie Haste playing the full 90 ninety – he was influential at both ends.

Benjani Jnr started for Melksham and provided an assist for their solitary goal in a tough 6-1 defeat to Bishops Cleeve.

Shepton Mallet drew 2-2 with Ilfracombe, Charlie Bateson played the full game helping his side come from 2-0 down in a game they could have snatched all three points in at the end.

Over at Gillingham, the Gills went down 2-0 to Hallen FC. Harrison Foster and Josh Haskett started, Harry Lock and Jack Bareham were both named as subs.

Aidan Skiverton was named on the bench for Sherborne in their 1-0 defeat to Brockenhurst.

Two matches for Welton Rovers this week; on Tuesday, Rovers lost 2-0 to Oldland Abbotonians.

Max Dyer and Jacob Shore played the full 90, Mason Alden a second half sub.

Fast forward to Saturday and sadly Street ran out 3-0 winners against a Young Welton side.

Again, starts for Jacob Shore and Max Dyer with Alden used from bench once more.

The Loan Watch feature seems to be getting busier by the week, plenty on the go… so let’s not hang about.

Starting in the division above, Alex Fisher made his second Oxford City debut – fifteen years after his first – in a defeat up in Hartlepool.

He came on shortly after the hosts took the lead, but it ended in a 2-1 defeat, after the game Oxford manager Ross Jenkins said Fisher was “a handful and did well”

 

Staying in the National League Premier, Jordan Maguire-Drew came off the bench for Barnet, the Bees were 3-0 down at the time and JM-D’s set pieces were a handful in trying to get his side back in the game, he set up Barnet’s second in the dying seconds to see the game finish 3-2, he was also booked for simulation minutes after coming on from the bench.

In to the National League South, no Will Buse for Bath, obviously, but there was a debut for Malachi Linton who came off the bench for W*ymouth in their 2-1 defeat to Tonbridge Angels.

 

Dorchester and Ollie Haste lost 4-2 to high flying Hungerford Town, Haste getting the full 90, Shepton put on one of their performances of the season beating Torpoint 4-2. Charlie Bateson started and was described as putting in an “excellent” performance when taken off just after the hour.

Benjani Jr was on the winning side at Melksham too, 2-1 victors away at Bashley, the striker didn’t score, but did play the full game.

Aidan Skiverton started for Sherborne… but they lost 6-1 to AFC Portchester, Max Dyer and Mason Alden both started for Welton Rovers in a 5-0 defeat to Buckland Athletic, Jacob Shore was introduced from the bench when the game was already at 5-0.

We’ll finish on a slightly more cheerful note, two goals from Josh Haskett gave Gillingham a healthy lead against Bristol Telephones, but a trio of second half goals saw the Bristol side take the spoils 3-2, three other young Glovers were also involved; Harrison Foster started, Jack Bareham and Harry Lock on the bench.

With games spread out across three different days over the new year period, let’s try and wrap up what our loanees have been up to.

Jordan Maguire Drew was brought on from the bench in a 1-0 win over Southend on Saturday 30th December.

On New Years Day, Bath and Chippenham drew 0-0 in a tense clash at Twerton Park, that means another clean sheet for Will Buse.

He made a couple of key saves in the game, in what will be his last fixture for a little while with the Romans heading to Huish Park next week.

Melksham lost 2-0 to Westbury Utd, Benjani Jr started the game, but was taken off just before the hour mark in that NYD clash.

 Dorchester (v Tiverton), Shepton (v Oddland) & Sherborne (v Laverstock) all fell foul to the weather, but Gillingham did get their fixture vs Middlezoy Rovers going in windy conditions.

Harrison Foster and Josh Haskett both started in the 2-0 loss, Harry Lock came on in the second half.
