The Mighty Shrimpers were handed a tough draw at Yeovil, who after being relegated last season were top of OutWestSomewhere Division 6. 300+ Shrimpers followed the 14 players to Zummerzet. Blues had two yoof players plus injured Nathan Ralph on the bench, as the NFL refuse to lift the embargo and Blues have to field injured players – disgraceful from the NFL. Yeovil had signed the players who scored against them for Blues last season….
First half and Yo defender Wannabee shoots home after just 2mins. Blues weather the storm and come back into it, with chances at both ends before a sick Mooney has to be replaced by 16yr old MacDonald. Halfo 0-1.
Second half and Blues give it a go but Yo break away and score thru Young who pokes home a good move on 67mins. Blues have possession but no end product, youth player Blake comes on for his debut late on but Yo see it out.
Congrats to youth players MacDonald and Blake for their debuts in trying circumstances!
