Winger Lewys Twamley was happy with his performance in his first start for Yeovil Town in the 2-1 defeat at Aldershot Town in the final match of the season.
The 21-year-old, who has appeared off the bench eight times since joining from Southern League side Merthyr Town in January, played the first 61 minutes of the match in Hampshire before being replaced by Finn Cousin-Dawson.
He missed a gilt-edged opportunity to opening the scoring after 17 minutes following a neat one-two with Sonny Blu Lo-Everton saw him with just Aldershot keeper Marcus Dewhurst to beat. He pulled his shot wide.
Speaking to BBC Somerset’s Josh Perkins after the game, Twamley said: “It was obviously nice to get my first start. It has been difficult since I came here, I thought I would have got my chance much sooner but I have had to bide my time and when it came I thought I just had to take my chance.
“I thought I took my chance today. Obviously we were unlucky with the result, I had a good chance I should have taken, but it has been good. When I saw my name on the team sheet, it was a nice feeling and I thought I did myself proud.”
Asked if he was frustrated with his lack of game time, he said: “I would have liked to have played a lot more games. I came here in January and I have had one start. I knew it was not going to be easy joining a team in January, so I have just had to go with the flow and take my chance when it came.
“I have had some appearances off the bench, but it has not gone as planned. The manager as picked players ahead of me and they have done well, to be fair, so I have sat on the bench and watched a lot of games but that is football and we will go again next season.”
The final day defeat sees Yeovil finish 18th in the National League Premier Division table, four points off the relegation zone and 12 points off the play-off places.
Asked how he would grade the Glovers’ season, Twamley added: “I was obviously not here at the start of the season, but the boys have just got promoted to this level. The fans obviously have high expectations, so I suspect mid-table will be little bit disappointing, but it is where we are as a group and I am sure we will give it a good go next season.“
The poor lad hasn’t had much of a chance to show us what he’s got. He’d have been better off going to a National League South club for a season to see how he’d get on there and then move up to the National League if he could still score goals for fun in the NLS.
