A stalemate at Slough for the first team, but what about those elsewhere?

Well, we were hoping that Bath City could do us an almighty favour in their game against Chelmsford (they couldn’t, cheers Jerry 😉) but it was good to see Glovers’ loanee Gloveman Will Buse back in goal.

He’s made two appearances this week for the Romans, in a 2-0 win over Hemel in midweek and in their 3-1 loss to Chelmsford on Saturday.

After the game in midweek, Jerry Gill said of his number 1;

“I thought Will was excellent, gave us a calmness, came and got a lot of crosses, and his kicking was excellent as well”

In the division above, Jordan Maguire-Drew was in the starting line up for Barnet, they lost 1-0 against Woking. 

JM-D was taken off ten minutes before the end.

Malachi Linton wasn’t in the W*ymouth squad for their game against Braintree, the Terras lost 1-0.

Dorchester were on the right side of a seven-goal thriller against Beaconsfield. Ollie Haste played the full 90.

Benjani Jr scored the only Melksham goal in a 2-1 defeat to Exmouth.

 Shepton Mallet had their game postponed, it’s been VERY damp of late… too damp for Gillingham v Bitton as well.

Welton Rovers were on the wrong end of a 5-0 score line against Clevedon. Max Dyer and Jacob Shore both started for Rovers

Another round of fixtures come and go, and whilst there might not be much to shout about from Huish Park, elsewhere Glovers were in action, and for the most part having some more success.

Firstly, looking upwards, Jordan Maguire-Drew couldn’t play for Barnet on Saturday as they were in FA Trophy action and he is cup tied, but he did manage to get on for the final two minutes (plus added on time) in the Bees’ midweek fixture.

In to the National League South and Malachi Linton was on the score sheet TWICE for… well, you know, them… as they won 2-0 away at Aveley. Excellent work Mal.

The brace comes after being named their Player of the Month for February,

 

Goalkeeper Will Buse was back on Bath City’s bench for their defeat to Farnborough, he didn’t make an appearance from the bench, but it does clarify that he is still on loan at the Romans at least following a spell on the sidelines.

Melksham Town were 1-0 winners over ten man Bishop Cleeve, Benjani Junior started the game and was taken off right at the end as his side looked to hold on to their lead.

He also played, and scored, in their 1-1 draw with Tavistock in midweek, good work, Benji.

 

Dorchester Town won 2-1 over Beaconsfield Town – Ollie Haste put in a solid display for the full 90 minutes in the Magpies’ defence.

Down to Shepton where Charlie Bateson opened the scoring for the Mallet in their 3-1 win over St Blazey. He didn’t quite see the full game out, but was taken off towards the end.

Welton Rovers changed their manager in the week, but the incoming boss still gave Jacob Shore and Max Dyer a go from the start against a strong Bridgwater United side.

Bridgwater won 2-0, Mason Alden was also used from the bench.

Over at Gillingham, they won 1-0 away at Shirehampton, plenty of young Glovers in their squad; Harrison Foster provided the assist for the goal, with Josh Haskett and Jack Bareham both starting alongside him, Harry Lock was also involved from the bench.

Time to have another scoot around the divisions and see how those out on loan are getting on.

Firstly at Barnet, Jordan Maguire-Drew was back amongst the subs for the Bees, he’s missed the last few games but he made a 15-minute cameo in their 2-1 win over Hartlepool.

Down at W*ymouth, Malachi Linton was used from the start in the Terras’ 1-1 draw with Torquay United.

He was subbed off in the very final few seconds and did have a couple of chances to find the net again after a couple of goals in late February.

For Shepton, Charlie Bateson came on with half an hour to go in their Les Phillips’ Semi Final, the game ended 6-1 to the Mallet, with Bateson laying on an assist for the final goal. – All the best in the final, Charlie!

The final is scheduled for May 12th at Tiverton Town.

 

Mother Nature the winner elsewhere, Dorchester against Sholing was called off due to a waterlogged pitch, Melksham against Cribbs FC was all a bit damp, Welton vs Ilfracombe got a bit too squelchy for the ref, Sherborne vs Lymington was moist beyond reason whilst there was actually too much SNOW for Gillingham vs Bradford Town, which is a clash of teams with town names that sound like an all League Two clash rather than a Western League one.

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.
