Both Sherborne Town and Bridport Town have had double game weeks this week and there’s been plenty of young Glovers getting minutes.
We’ll start with the Zebras.
On Tuesday, they lost 2-0 to Portland United, with Jaydon Biss, Blake Watts, George Geraghty and Ollie Hughes all in the starting line up, fast forward to Saturday and Biss, Geraghty and Hughes (from the bench) were all involved again. This time in a dramatic 2-2 draw against Hamble Club FC in the Wessex League – all the more impressive when you consider the Yeovil U19s had a friendly on Thursday too!
