Youth win their first match of the season
Yeovil Youth Team won their first League Cup game with a 2-1 win away at Plymouth Argyle . The scoreline doesn't reflect the game as Yeovil dominated the game and anyone watching would agree 4 or 5-1 would have shown how much Yeovil were on top.
It was a terrific win against one of the top academies in the country.
Yeovil could have scored after just 10 minutes when a long throw from the all action Harry Montacutesaw Steve Friends header saved by the keeper.
Yeovil were knocking the ball about well with strikers Adam Wakely and Steve Friend working tirelessly up front, and it was a linkup between the two that saw Yeovil take the lead after 28 minutes.
A flick on by Steve Friend saw 16 year old Adam Wakely, who is a fine prospect, turn his marker and score a great goal.
Yeovil thought they had gone 2 up when Julio Barnes scored from a corner but the referee disallowed the goal for pushing.
Harry Montacute blazed one from close in and Steve Friend headed over as Yeovil continued to press.
Plymouth were always dangerous on the break and had two good chances to score however, keeper Jamie Beale pulled off a great save and the Plymouth striker shot wide when well placed.
However, it was Yeovil who scored the next goal making it 2-0 as a great whipped cross from a free kick by Tom Scott saw Steve Friend head powerfully in.
Yeovil were well on top with 16 year old Michael Mayaba catching the eye with some good runs.
Yeovil dominated midfield with Harry Nodwell, Ashley Clarke and Harry Montacute on top of their game and centre backs Jason Sangha and Julio Barnes kept the Plymouths strikers in check.
Yeovil should have gone 3 up when Adam Wakely broke through, rounded the keeper but saw his shot go agonisingly wide.
With 12 minutes to go Plymouth did score, however Yeovil managed to hold out for a good win-a great team performance with all players excelling themselves.
Substitutes Ryan Vickey and Corrie Lewis were lively; indeed Lewis hit the woodwork three times.
Yeovil now play Exeter City at home seeking their first home win on the season, for those wanting to watch the Glovers but have an empty weekend with no Leicester game, kickoff is at 11.00 at Somerton Playing Fields.
