Yeovil Town Under-18s get their South West Counties Youth League season underway with a home match against Bath City at Alvington on Saturday (10.30am kick-off).

Ironically, the fixture is the same one that the young Glovers closed last season with – albeit that match was played at Huish Park – with goals from Charlie Bateson and Mason Alden securing a 2-0 win in late April.

A number of players who would normally have been named in the Under-18s are now playing elsewhere with Bateson on loan at Shepton Mallet, and defender Jacob Shore and Ollie Haste and forward Benjani Junior out at Tiverton Town and Dorchester Town respectively.

The league’s website names 31 registered players in the Yeovil Town squad for the upcoming season with some familiar names including Alden, Joey Beckey, Max Dyer, Harrison Foster, Josh Haskett and Aidan Skiverton, who all featured to some degree last season.

The alphabetically-challenged Glovers will be looking to get off the bottom of the table with a positive result against their alphabetically superior opposition.

A brace from captain Jake Graziano was enough to earn Yeovil Town Under-18s a 3-2 win at BRS Coaching Youth in the South West Counties Youth League at the weekend.

The midfielder was joined on the scoresheet in Bournemouth by striker Benjani Junior with both players back in the line-up for the Underr-18s with Sherborne Town, where both have been on loan for the past few weeks, without a fixture this weekend.

That keeps the young Glovers in second place, five points behind leaders Bridgwater United having played one game fewer.

In the Junior Premier League, the club’s Under-12s picked up a win over South Somerset Regional Talent Centre but the Under-13s went down to defeat against Taunton Town.
