Yeovil & Sherborne Men Win Taunton Summer League 2009
Taunton Vale C 4 Yeovil & Sherborne 5
After a nail-biting semi-final win on penalty strokes against Taunton Vale A, Yeovil & Sherborne came up against Taunton Vale C in the final of the Taunton Summer League. Y&S got off to a bright start with some good passing and movement before Dave Allen got on the end of a pass within the D with a committed dive to score the first goal. A Simon Eimar strike from a short corner gave Yeovil a 2-0 advantage but they then allowed Taunton Vale too much space and possession which the hosts took advantage of to draw level at 2-2. With half-time approaching, Ed Matts put Yeovil ahead after some great Yeovil passing and Y&S increased their advantage early in the second half with Eimar scoring his second goal. The Yeovil defence had their work cut out but resisted Taunton Vales's attacks until late in the game when Vale scored two quick goals to set up a tense finish. Matt Ringrow, Eimar and Matts combined well, however, to leave Matts with a tap-in for Yeovil's winning goal with a few minutes left.
The squad has grown in confidence during this Summer League campaign and finished playing some excellent hockey which culminated in Y&S being presented with the trophy for the first time. Ed Matts was deservedly awarded Man-of-the-Match for a tremendous performance. Please see the Photo Gallery for more pictures. |  |
