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.
