Victory Over Weymouth Gets Pre-Season Off To Perfect Start
ON SONG: Jemma on the scoresheet again
Yeovil Town Ladies got their pre-season off to a winning start, with a 4-2 victory over local rivals Weymouth Ladies on Sunday. The Dorset side proved testing opponents for the Glovers, as they continue to warm up for their first season in the FA Women’s Premier League, but in the end they ran our comfortable winners thanks to goals from Jemma Tewkesbury, Anusia Rourke, and new signings Laura Bray and Leah Jennings.
“I was glad that it was a close game, as it proved a good run out for the team.” manager Steve Phelps said after the game. “I thought that we played well, and I was pleased with the way the new players fitted in. It was good to see two of the new players get on the score sheet. Laura Bray, who we signed from Forest Green Rovers during the summer looked sharp, and I was pleased with Leah Jennings too.
“We have been working hard on our fitness throughout pre-season, and have a long way to go, but I can see a difference already. It’s going to be tough playing in the Premier League this season, but with our existing players and the personnel who we have coming in this summer I feel sure that we will be well equipped with what lies ahead.”
“We have some more pre-season friendlies coming up, and a many of them will prove tough opposition. This will be good for the players, as it will not only help to drive up their fitness, but also give them their match sharpness in readiness for the new season.”
Friendly Cancellation
Yeovil Town Ladies pre-season friendly match at Plymouth Argyle, due to be played this Sunday the 25th July 2010, has been cancelled as most of the squad are attending the wedding of one of the first team squad members.

Youth Recruitment Day
Yeovil Town Ladies will be holding a training session for young female team players at the Tintinhull Sports ground on Saturday 17th July 2010, at 10.30am to recruit youth team players for the coming season.
The club have been operating a highly successful youth set up for over ten years now, and will be running age group teams operating in the Somerset FA Girls League at Under-10, Under-11, Under-12, Under-13, Under-14 and Under-16 levels this coming season.
It should be stressed that this morning of football is not a trial, rather it is a chance for girls to come a long and enjoy their football, hopefully giving them the opportunity to join one of the age group teams this coming season.
The club are looking to recruit at all age groups, but particularly at Under-10 and Under-12 levels, as these are new teams.
In coming to the open day, girls should bring their playing kit, trainers, boots, a hat, sun block and plenty of water.
Any parents with a daughter interested in playing in the Yeovil Town Ladies youth set up should email club secretary Ali King at alastair.king1965@btinternet.com or call him direct on 01460 75309.
