Yeovil Town Under-18s’ participation in the South West Counties’ Youth League’s Gary Else Memorial Cup ended with a defeat at Torquay United on Saturday.
A hat-trick from their hosts’ Ben Aldous inflicted a 3-1 defeat on the young Glovers whose goal came from defender Harrison Foster and ended their involvement in the league’s round robin cup competition.
The Gulls are managed by former Glovers’ defender Ryan Dickson who took over as Under-18s’ coach from Chris Todd when he left Plainmoor to become Chris Hargreaves’ assistant at Yeovil.
The Under-18s will be looking to put the defeat behind them when they travel to Bournemouth-based BRS Coaching Youth in the league next weekend.
For the club’s other age groups, there were two wins, two defeats and a draw for the sides which play as part of the Yeovil Town Community Sports Trust.
The Under-12s drew with Torquay United in the Junior Premier League whilst the Under-14s and Under-16s won theirs against Weston-super-Mare, but the north Somerset side defeated the Glovers’ Under-13s and Under-15s.
The Under-11s were without a fixture and took part in a training session at Huish Park.
