Yeovil Town Women returned to winning ways with a 3-0 victory away at Appledore in the league.

The Glovers dominated from the start, with Jodi Cornwall’s delivery from the right skimming the crossbar and Lily McNally’s header from a corner going just wide.

It was Cornwall who broke the deadlock with just 12 minutes on the clock, as she raced through on goal and coolly slotted home.

The lead was doubled on the half-hour mark when the ball fell to Becky Miles on the edge of the box, and she fired low into the bottom corner.

There were chances for Dave Court’s side to increase their lead after the break, but Laura Wensley’s header was off target and Keira Ealson-Taylor couldn’t quite convert from McNally’s ball across.

The third goal did arrive with a minute left when McNally got on the end of a defence-splitting pass and curled past the ‘keeper.

The three points keep Yeovil top of the South West Regional Football League, with their next scheduled game currently the trip to Feniton on Sunday 19th April.

Tuesday night takes us to Southend for another National League clash and our match official is, Abigail Byrne.

Which in itself, is not a particularly interesting thing.

But, what is interesting is the only Yeovil game she’s ever taken charge of is this exact fixture from back in November 2024. A 1-0 Yeovil Town win at Southend – the one where James Plant scored from a very deliberate shot, not a cross, honestly.

What’s even MORE interesting is that she made a few headlines that afternoon, sending off Shrimpers’ goal keeper Zak Jeacock early on in the game – a red card that would go on to be rescinded.

She then sent off Southend boss, Kevin Maher. After the game he said;

“I appealed for a penalty and the fourth official said you can’t do that because my arms were up.

“I thought the referee lost control of the game after 10 minutes and the rest of it was a consequence of that. Both benches were appealing for things, no one swore at anyone.”

For what it’s worth, four Yeovil players also saw yellow; namely Charlie Cooper, Finn Cousin-Dawson, Jake Wannell and Alex Whittle.

Oh to be a fly on the wall when the team sheets are exchanged.

Byrne is actually a very highly thought of official, she’s taken charge of many, many top level matches in the women’s game and international fixtures too, and has even refereed Soccer Aid. If she can keep up with Usain Bolt, the pace of play in this one will be no trouble.

This season, 29 games have seen 103 yellows issued, four reds and eight penalties.

She’ll be assisted by Chris Myatt and Michael Haydown with Andrew Aylott on fourth official duties… he’ll be the one copping the grief from the managers!

Gloverscast Ben was in the commentary box at the Gateshead International stadium. Here are his five key takeaways from the game.


Knackered. This has been a long ol’ season, even by Yeovil Town standards. I thought that yesterday started to show just how much energy our recent schedule had taken out of us. We definitely missed the energy and running of Daly and Sims from the off and, without question, have a few players feeling the effects of their recent exertions. There wasn’t a lack of effort, I think the legs just didn’t work like they had done prior.

Discipline and officials. Now, if you can’t control the fatigue in the body, you can control the mind. I actually thought Finn Cousin-Dawson played rather well in the middle of the park, we had a lot of defending to do at times and he certainly offers us that protection. But in a game that got feisty, and got away from the ref, he really didn’t need to make that challenge in the 93rd minute, 2-0 down away from home, with a busy schedule ahead of us.

Now, let’s caveat that by saying the ref helped absolutely no-one all game. He could (should) have sent one, maybe two, Gateshead players off for different altercations and bizarrely didn’t send off Jake Wannell for giving away the penalty. (My theory is, he probably regretted booking him for the offence of being elbowed in the head by a Gateshead player). He had no control over the game and everyone got unnecessarily frustrated. Gateshead played that situation better than us.

The curious case of Millar Matthews-Lewis. I can’t figure this one out, he gets his start after a couple of cameos and unused sub appearances and it was a strange 20 minutes from him. He tried to hold the ball up, but a couple of times he looked to be on a different wavelength/planet to those around him and nothing really stuck. We assumed he was nursing an injury when taken off, but we were told it was tactical after the game.

Jarvis came on to get his shirt ripped off on every occasion and did offer far more. But we’re going to need our entire squad for the next six games, is he destined to be filed alongside Jahmari Clarke and Reo Griffiths as strikers that happened, but we dont quite know why..? Maybe.

More the Merry-er. Yes. I tell you who isn’t looking knackered, Will Merry. I know it’s the smallest of sample sizes, but this lad has something. Simple, direct, he almost floats with the ball at his feet. He has an eye for a run too and is happy to drift off a defender and find a position. Let’s get this lad on the pitch a lot over the next six games and see what he’s about. In the name of planning for next season, these might be the sort of raw youngsters that come in to the group.

How to motivate a side on the beach? As we edge closer to the end of the season, the maths will start getting worked out and we’ll soon discover our spot somewhere in the lower-middle pack. But, over 100 people went to Gateshead yesterday, plenty will be at Southend and so on and so forth. They deserve that effort to be matched, if not bettered.

It’ll be interesting to see how we show up for this run in with the ever-decreasing jeopardy this season holds. Those fans still need something to cheer and something to get behind and remember, there’s season tickets and new kits and sponsor board to sell for next season.

 

Ryan Jones was on post-match interview duties and he spoke to BBC Somerset’s Mark Stillman. Here’s every word of the winger’s interview.

Mark Stillman: Ryan, tough afternoon here in Gateshead. Your thoughts on today’s game, please?

Ryan Jones: Yeah, you know, they’re a well organised team, sort of especially in possession, they’ve got good rotations. I think we dealt with it quite well for the majority of the game, maybe just two moments where they sort of broke through a line and created a few problems for us which obviously led to a goal. The ref’s given a penalty which I think is a little bit soft, but they’re the decisions that get made on the day. [we] Can’t change them now. Yeah, I thought on the whole it was fairly even as a 90 minutes goes.

Mark Stillman: In the first half Gateshead started quite well. Yeovil really got back into it. So what sort of messages did Billy give you at the break?

Ryan Jones: We changed shape at halftime just to try to deal with their rotations a little bit better. I think that worked, and it allowed us to sort of counter-attack on them a little bit quicker and get higher up the pitch. And then once we got into the final third, if initially there’s no pass or there’s nothing on, it’s about coming back out, recycling it, and creating another attack from another angle.

Mark Stillman: You played in both of these games, played on Wednesday with 10 men, so it was hard at the closing stages. What was it like then coming all the way up here sort of tiredness point of view for you and the team?

Ryan Jones: Yeah, you know, it’s obviously going to be tiring for us for what, 35 minutes or so with 10 men on Wednesday, which the boys were excellent then. And then traveling up here, it’s a long journey, but that’s football, that’s the league, you’ve got to deal with it and recover as best you can to go again when the next game is.

Mark Stillman: You played regularly sort of last few weeks, this time shifted over to the right with Alex Whittle coming back in. What did you make of playing sort of obviously not on your natural side?

Ryan Jones: Yeah, it’s something obviously I need to get used to. I can do a job, it’s just something that with more repetitions, where you need to be, knowing what you need to do, it can only get better. So yeah, it’s just one of those things. You know, Whits is a good player that side as well. So if I can do a job and help the team in any position then that’s what I need to do really.

Mark Stillman: And finally, a couple of days’ resting up before you’ve another long old journey on Tuesday night of course to Southend United.

Ryan Jones: Yeah, all the boys need to recover right which I’m sure everyone will do. We’ve got a good group. It’s not going to be an easy game, as everyone knows Southend are a big club, good team, they’re pushing for playoffs, so it’s not going to be easy but we’ll go there and give everything.

Yeovil boss Billy Rowley spoke to BBC Somerset’s Mark Stillman following the Glovers 2-1 defeat at Gateshead. Here’s every word of the manager’s post-match thoughts.

Mark Stillman: Billy, your thoughts on this afternoon’s game please?

Billy Rowley: Initially, disappointing and a bit frustrating. There’s two sides of me here. I want to sort of, lose my temper a little bit, but also the other side of me understands we’ve had a really tough run and we’ve had some good results and wins in the last two games in particular. Leading into this game, we looked into Gateshead since Rob’s come back, he’s done a great job. They obviously beat York here the game before, I think their last previous game to that, they beat Wealdstone here. This is a tough ground to come [to]. They are definitely in a false league position really. It could have been worse today. I think we probably would have taken a draw before the game. We’ve given away a bit of a silly penalty really which has sort of changed the game. But yeah look, disappointed by the result. You never, want to lose games of football but we’ll take it on the chin and we’ll move on to Tuesday.

Mark Stillman: It always felt tough like we said before that Gateshead had the extra day’s rest that play a little bit of a part, you know you had a really good win on Wednesday at Wealdstone but they had an extra day’s recovery.

Billy Rowley: Yeah, [it] definitely does play a part. I’ll keep beating the drum that we’ve got a very, very small squad. Another red card today which is unbelievably frustrating which leaves us another body light. I’m not one to really talk about the referees but I felt like he didn’t really have great control of it for a long period which then led to a lot of players from our team, and Gateshead, blood boiling and just diving into silly tackles and doing some stupid and reckless things, but sometimes these things can be eradicated if the ref’s a little bit firmer and a little bit more consistent really from an early period which he wasn’t. It is what it is.

Mark Stillman: First half, obviously gave Miller Matthews Lewis his first start then he came off midway through the first half was that tactical?

Billy Rowley: He obviously come in Miller through not playing football since January. We haven’t trained loads because of our schedule. So just yeah lacking match fitness, we needed to try to change our press a little bit and get more pressure on the ball. So yeah, feel for him but it was, it was a tactical decision really.

Mark Stillman: I thought Will Merry did well when he came on.

Billy Rowley: Yeah, very good exciting talent. He’s only met the lads yesterday at the hotel. So he’s not trained with us, not really familiar with how we want to play or or anything. So in terms of his individual talent and ability I think it’s there for everyone to see. So I think he’s going to prove to be a decent signing for us,

Mark Stillman Now, suddenly you’re back on the road again doing a thousand or so miles in the last couple of days off to Southend on Tuesday.

Billy Rowley: Yeah back tonight probably one in the morning or so. Rest tomorrow, prepare Monday and then we’ll be at Southend away Tuesday which we’ll be just looking to to go there with you know, decent spirits after the last week or two and and try and get at least a point out of that game.

Mark Stillman: Amazing support I think over a hundred I think Yeovil fans and I’m sure there’ll be plenty of them in Essex on Tuesday night.

Billy Rowley: Yeah, I thought they were excellent today and it goes without saying how much we value their support. We could hear them having a bit of back and forth with with the Gateshead supporters. I want to thank them massively. It’s obviously always devastating and frustrating when you when you come this far and you see traveling supporters and you can’t get at least a point for them. We thank them for their support and hopefully see them Tuesday.

Yeovil Town’s longest away trip of the season ended in defeat as two second half goals from Gateshead ended a run of back-to-back wins.


First half

The big pre-match talking point was about the choice of Yeovil’s kit. Red and black striped away shirts, but the black shorts and socks were replaced by the white shorts and green socks worn at home. Presumably a kit clash with Gateshead’s black shorts and socks.

Those kit choices are….interesting.

Within the first three minutes, Gateshead were forced in to a change when Levi Amantchi limped off to be replaced by Ashley Boatswain.

The opening 15 minutes was played almost exclusively in the Yeovil half with then only forayn to the Gateshead half coming when Brett McGavin tried to catch the keeper off guard with a direct free-kick. The keeper was on his guard to collect easily, but still had more to do that Jed Ward at the other end despite all the home side’s possession.
We are definitely looking to find Millar Matthews-Lewis up front with long balls rather than the quick passes which had such at Wealdstone on Wednesday night. Gateshead are doing exactly that albeit without showing much end product.
The first as seen from outer space or the away end at Gateshead as it’s also known.

The 28th minute proved to be the end of an utterly forgettable first start for Matthews-Lewis, who was replaced by Aaron Jarvis. There immediately looks more shape to the side with the number nine offering more of a focal point.

Just after the half-hour mark, a nicely worked move found its way to Brett McGavin whose drilled effort was turned away by a flying save from Adam Desbois.

In the 38th minute, McGavin got caught in possession and the ball got through to Boatswain who dragged his effort wide. Then just before the half-time break, another sustained period of pressure from Gateshead saw Josh Home’s header force a fine reaction save out of Ward.

Though the hosts will undoubtedly dominate the possession stats, we go in level at the break.

Half time: Gateshead 0 Yeovil Town 0


Second half

In the first 15 minutes, the only point of note was the inevitable booking for Aaron Jarvis around the hour mark. An altercation with the Gateshead defence.

Just after the hour, Terrell Works and Delano McCoy-Splatt was replaced by James Daly and new loan signing Will Merry, who joined from Southampton Under-21s ahead of the game.

On 66 minutes, the home side were awarded a penalty. Wannell pulled Boatswain to the floor in the box and the referee needed no second invitation to give the spot kick. Keaton WARD fired Gateshead in to the lead.

On 72 minutes, a great break set Ryan Jones free down the right, accompanied by three Gateshead defenders, the winger tried his trademark twists and turns inside the box but could not get his shot away.
But a minute later, Gateshead doubled their advantage. A fantastic block by Joy Mukena inside the box to deny Harry Chapman bounced back to the hosts’ winger and he was able to lift it over as far as Mark BECK and the former Glover had the easy job of heading in from close range. A soft goal to concede and signs of fatigue are clearly showing in the Yeovil defence.
McGavin fizzed an effort just over the bar from the edge of the box on 77 minutes before Ward had to make a great reaction save to deny Chapman.
A disappointing day ended when Finn Cousin-Dawson was sent off for a wild challenge on Richardson and then in the final move of the game Kyle FERGUSON head a corner home for a late consolation goal for the visitors.

Full time: Gateshead 2 Yeovil Town 1
