Match Report: AFC Totton v Yeovil Town

Yeovil's pre-season form continued yesterday afternoon as Town came away from AFC Totton with a 2-1 victory. An early goal from Rhys Murphy put Town in command and substitute Olly Thomas doubled the lead mid-way into the second half. Totton pulled one back through Matt Burrows with 20 minutes remaining but Town were able to see the game out.

Yeovil fielded Will Buse, Morgan Williams, Jamie Sendles-White, Jake Wannell, Alex Whittle, Zac Bell, Matt Worthington, Charlie Cooper, Jordan Maguire-Drew, Frank Nouble and Rhys Murphy.

With just two minutes played Yeovil were ahead when Jordan Maguire-Drew's effort was blocked and Murphy was there to fire in the re-bound.

Will Buse was called into action on 14 minutes when a free kick to the far post found Charlie Kennedy but his header was well saved.

The game was fairly even for the first half with both sides playing some neat football. The Yeovil defence didn't appear to be as solid as they had been in previous games and Will Buse was having to make a few routine saves when the defence didn't pressure the attack.
