Another Saturday of action brings another edition of Loan Watch and we have some goals to tell you about.
Taunton Town played away at Aveley in the National League South and it was the hosts who were comprehensive 4-1 winners, but the Peacocks’ only goal of the game did come from Malachi Linton.
It’s Linton’s first competitive goal in the claret and blue of Taunton, he was awarded the away side’s Man of the Match too on a disappointing afternoon.
Our #manofthematch from today’s game against @AveleyFC is @malachi_lints

Next, to Dorchester where defender Ollie Haste was not in the squad for the Magpies, but Benjani Junior was a substitute. The young striker appeared in the 64th minute, but the Magpies couldn’t hold out for a win though, conceding a late equaliser well beyond the 90 minute mark, it finished 2-2 againt Harrow Borough.
Striker Charlie Bateson, who was prolific for the Under-18s last season, is currently on a youth loan with Shepton Mallet in the Western League Premier Division. He was on the scoresheet after just two minutes for his loan side who ran out 2-1 winners against local rivals Walton Rovers.
2| GOAL. Perfectly weighted though ball from Sloggett, Bateson out paces the centre half and drives a clinical finish in the the bottom corner. 1-0. #Towncalledmallet

Finally, defender Jacob Shore got just the final five minutes of Tiverton Town’s 5-2 defeat to Hayes & Yeading in the Southern League Premier Division South. The game was finely poised with 70 minutes on the clock, but a second red card for Tivvy opened the floodgates for their hosts who took full advantage.
