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.
51| GOOOOAAAALLLL. Shepton capitalise on a defensive pass back and Bateson goes round the keeper and finishes well. 0-2#Towncalledmallet | #utm

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.
