Yeovil Town Under-18s earned a 1-1 draw against their Dorchester Town counterparts at Avenue Stadium.

A goal from Finlay Skiverton, the 17-year-old son of Glovers’ legend, Terry, put the visitors ahead in the pre-season friendly.

In fact, it was a proud moment for the Skiverton family with another of his son’s, 15-year-old Aidan, also turning out for Yeovil.

A late equaliser from the hosts saw the game finish a draw.

The Under-18s lost at Paulton Rovers in their opening pre-season friendly and travel to Darren Way’s Plymouth Argyle Under-18s in their next match on Saturday.

Pre-season is underway for both the senior and junior sidest at Huish Park and the Yeovil Under 18s lost 2-1 to Paulton Rovers in their first fixture of the new campaign.

No details were given regardling team line ups, but the score ended up 2-1 to Paulton with the Glovers’ only goal coming from Korey Andrew.

Andrew is a new name to keep an eye on, the Under18s would likely have been without Ollie Haste who was with the first team for the game against Weston super-Mare.
