Great Performance and Victory For Ladies

Sundays match saw a great team performance from the girls, who matched QPR for pace, fitness and skill. It was a long day, but the journey back was certainly worth it, with the Glovers grabbing their first three points of the season, and improving their profile for the rest of the season as newcomers to the league. There were a few changes from last week’s team after last weeks 3–0 defeat against Bournemouth. Nicki Payne came in at left back to cover for the suspended Kia Bowles, and had a great game. Julie

Simkin also came back into the team after being away for the summer with injury and work commitments, playing in central midfield with Sarah Lawler, with Kayleigh Nardiello on the left and Stacey Pearson on the right. Upfront changes came with the availability of last year’s league top scorer Jemma Tewkesbury, who although not scoring, worked hard and got herself into good positions to create pressure. The first half was a hard battle as QPR held Yeovil to 0-0, and play was spread very evenly, with both teams having a couple of chances on goal. The Yeovil back four were solid and held their lines high to keep QPR from breaking through. Both teams battled end to end, but neither team were able to put the ball in the net. The second half was like a different game for Yeovil, having re-organised at the break. On 55 minutes Alana Wilson broke through and netted the first Yeovil goal with a well placed strike into QPR’s net. This gave the Glovers more confidence, and Jemma Tewkesbury had a handful of chances but couldn’t beat the goalkeeper, despite her efforts to find the score sheet. However, the Glovers were soon two up, and it was goal machine Alana Wilson again on target, with her second of the game. The ball broke up the line with Nardiello, and was played to Wilson who passed a defender and amazingly lobbed the keeper –“Wayne Rooney style” to hit home. The team were ecstatic and had to keep their cool as there was still 17 minutes left to play in order to hold on to the three points. The whole team sat in and defended superbly from front to back. Manager Steve Phelps made a few changes, bringing Emma Brazzel on the wing for Stacey Pearson, followed shortly after by Sarah Roxborough coming on for Jemma Tewkesbury, and finally adding Ellie Wolfe for Julie Simkin. The game finished with Yeovil keeping good possession and dominating the game. All in all it was a good performance. ‘ keeper Jodie Rice made a couple of good saves in the first half, the strikers were sharp, the midfield were compact, battling and creating, and the defence were solid. Key performances came from Kayleigh Nardiello in the first half with her excellent recovery runs to team up with left back Nicola Payne, and the second half star performance came from double scoring forward, Alana Wilson. Speaking after the match Captain Sarah Lawler was delighted with the win. “This week we showed that we belong in this league and deserve to be playing at a higher standard,” she said. “I don’t think many teams would have put their money on us returning with three points and a clean sheet against QPR, and I think that now a few of our opponents will sit up and take note. “Our next game will be away at title favourites Plymouth Argyle, who will be a handful after giving Frome Town a 9–1 battering last week. “Despite the fact that they are favourites for the title, I think we have a really good chance against them, with confidence high and the squad gelling well after Sundays match.” Report by Sarah Lawler

Ladies Record Superb Victory!

The Yeovil Town ladies this afternoon travelled up to London and recorded a famous victory, beating Queens Park Rangers Ladies 2-0. Striker Alana Wilson grabbed both goals for the Glovers in what was a brilliant display from the whole team. Further details tomorrow.

Glovers Robbed By The Ref!!

The Glovers were this afternoon the victims of an appalling refereeing decision as the official Mr Lee awarded a free kick to Tranmere after the only thing that brought Chris Greenacre down just outside the box, in the dying moments of the game, was thin air! Steve Davies converted the free kick, and the game controversially ended 1-1. Stewie had previously given the Glovers the lead with a thunderbolt of a shot from 25 yards on 57 minutes in a game that the Glovers should have won.

Ladies Lose Out Against Cherries

The Yeovil Town Ladies went down 3-0 to AFC Bournemouth on Sunday in the opening game of their league campaign. Played in very hot conditions, the scoreline rather flattered the Cherries, especially taking into account the fact the Glovers had what looked a cast iron penalty turned down, where there goalkeeper should also have been sent off, plus had a goal disallowed that even the opposition bench thought had gone over the line. Speaking to the Green and White supporters Club this afternoon, Yeovil Captain Sarah Lawler felt that despite the defeat, her team are still more than capable of doing well this season: “Sunday was a tough battle against a very

"It was a harsh reflection on the match"

organised team.” She said. “Bournemouth played some quick and physical football, which is what you would expect after a year in the South West Combination League. Although it may take us a few games to adjust to this pace, I know that with the squad we have, we are capable to rise to the new challenge a head of us to compete in this league. “I think the heat got to us a little and that by the end of the game we were very tired. I look forward to playing them again when our squad is complete and we have had some time to settle in, giving us a result which will be a better reflection of the football we can play. “I do think that 3-0 was a harsh reflection on the match as we gave them a good game and we were very unlucky to have a goal disallowed, which I think would of changed the match in our favour. “On the positive side we showed we can create chances, but credit must go to the very capable Bournemouth goal keeper who saved three off the line. Next week’s game is against QPR away which will be a tough match. However, I am looking forward to the challenge and to the opportunity to play up at the QPR ground.” It was a good birthing for the Yeovil girls, and they will have learned a lot from the experience. They will come back stronger, especially next week when Jemma Tewkesbury, Julie Simkin and Nicki Payne will all be available again after missing out this weekend. Robin Evans’ full match report and pictures from the game taken by Paul A’Barroiw will appear here towards the end of the week.

Justin Cochrane initially gave Yeovil the lead on 25 minutes, but the home side came back to equalise six minutes later through Poul Hubertz, before Owusu sent the Yeovil support into raptures with his late winner.
