We head into a busy Christmas and New Year period with lots of Green and White loanees out and about.
I think it’s fairly safe to say that we don’t expect Jordan Maguire-Drew to play in Yeovil colours again, but he in contracted into next season and so we’ll keep him in the loop here.
He had a great start to life as a Bee of Barnet too. a 6-0 win and a goal off the bench!
In the National League South, the Glovers’ next opponents, Taunton drew 2-2 with Tonbridge Angels. Malachi Linton was brought on as a 95th minute substitute, he’s probably earned two games off as he wont be available against his parent club.
Over at Bath, Will Buse picked up a Cleano as part of the Romans’ 4-0 win against lowly Welling.
49′ Save!! Will Buse stands tall to deny Abrahams from close range.

Right, time to drop down to Dorchester, where they lost a seventh straight game and ended up with an outfield player in goal after a serious injury to on loan goalkeeper Adam Foster.
We wish him well for his recovery, our man Ollie Haste played the full game – and did pick up a booking.

Far better news for Melksham who won 5-0 against Paulton. Benjani Jr was in from the start, but despite the goal fest, couldn’t add his name to the score sheet – he went close on more than a couple occasions though,
Aidan Skiverton was on the bench for Sherborne who beat Brett Pitman’s Shaftesbury 2-0… Neither side reported who did or didn’t come off the bench, so we have no more info that that.
Gillingham were on the wrong end of 4-0 loss to Wells City on Friday night. Gillingham’s starting line up included both Jack Bareham and Josh Haskett whilst Harrison Foster and Harry Lock were among the subs.
Shepton Mallet didn’t play, Welton Rovers did, but at time of writing, there’s limited information on their game or if the likes of Jacob Shore or Mason Alden were involved.
