ACHIEVE BY UNITY

Here are local ball boys, hired by Yeovil Town for their National League match against Bromley at Huish Park, on Saturday. Usually it's a local junior club (or the club's juniors) that has the privilege of being ball boys/girls, a wonderful moment in the young persons' life.

The club motto is "Achieve by Unity" and the lads have made the news and followed that motto when they were all "sent off" with a few minutes to go and showed 8 red cards by referee Aaron Jackson, when he decided that they were obstructing the game by wasting time getting the ball back. One boy delayed handling the ball to an opponent and then a mate copied him! The ref stepped in!
This was put on Twitter immediately by a supporter and it got 20,000 hits! The ref had to retrieve the ball himself.

The Glovers were leading 3-1 with not long to go, when the mass sending off happened. Bromley goalkeeper, Mark Cussins, was carried off with an injury, delaying the game for 18 minutes, so what with the usual added time and the ball boys mucking about the ref was clearly going to miss his train home. he got grumpy. BBC Somerset reporter Chris Spittles kept local listeners well informed.
Founded in 1895 as Yeovil Casuals, the club nickname is the Glovers following the local industry, centred on the town.
In the late 1940s the club merged with local Petters United and hence the club name changed to Yeovil Town in 1946-7. They now played in the National League being relegated  from League 2 last season. Prior to that, they were in the Championship in 2013-14, League 1 in 2005-6 and Division 3 in 2003-4.
