It’s time for another Loan Watch as we wrap up how the Glovers out at other clubs are getting on.
Joe Day wasn’t the only Glovers’ goalkeeper who picked up a Cleano in the National League South. Will Buse and his Bath City side played out a 0-0 draw of their own against Dover Athletic.
Taunton did not have a good day at the office, they were soundly beaten by Havant and Waterlooville, Malachi Linton was initially named on the bench, but was introduced on the hour mark.
Let’s go to Melksham were Benjani Jr was also a substitute, but he did come on – as we can see from this gallery of images HERE – but we don’t quite know when. We do know his side drew 2-2 with Bristol Manor Farm.
Down at Dorchester, the Magpies threw a 1-0 lead away to lose 2-1 against Walton and Hersham. Ollie Haste started and was creative throughout the game.
46 | Early chance! Haste’s cross is headed wide by Gwengwe (1-1)

Shepton Mallet were on the wrong end of a last minute goal from Clevedon to leave their home game with nothing.
Charlie Bateson was introduced on the hour mark and nearly snatched a late goal of his own.
80| Costanza with some slippery work in the box and his cross is just headed over by Bateson. 0-0.#towncalledmallet | #utm

Aidan Skiverton was named amongst the subs for Sherborne who lost against Andover, (although information is light on if he played or not).
Welton Rovers got beat fairly heavily against Helston, 9-1, the youthful side included Mason Alden and Jacob Shore.
Far better news from Gillingham, where plenty of goals were scored by young Glovers over their two games this week.
In midweek, they lost to Hamworthy in the Dorset cup 3-2, with goals from both Josh Haskett and Harry Lock, Jack Bareham and Harrison Foster were both involved too.
On Saturday they produced a brilliant display to beat Keynsham 5-2. Josh Haskett again on the score sheet (he set up three others too) whilst Jack Bareham picked up a goal himself and more minutes for Lock and Foster too.
Today result away against @KeynshamTownFC

Goal scorers were the following
