Hounors even at Yate

We had a busy afternoon at Lodge Road with a double header against Yate, who have a new manager and a number of new players and look to have the makings of a very good side. Honours were even both games drawn and we now have just two more friendlies left before the season starts in earnest on August 8th. with a visit to Paulton Rovers followed by entertaining Poole on the following Monday.
Yate took an early lead in the first game, but Alan Bossman equalized with a splendid volley after 32 minutes and Stefan Brown gave us a 2-1 lead after 71 minutes, only for Yate to come back and level the scores just 2 minutes later.
In the second game Nat Jarvis gave us the lead after 9 minutes.but the home side equalized after 54 minutes and we again had to be content with a draw with manager Bobby Wilkinson very pleased with the weeks hectic programme which gave the squad a good workout as the season draws ever nearer.
