Loan Watch: Saturday 9th August

Our Academy boys have had a weekend full of minutes

Saturday saw the the opening weekend of the Men’s league season, but also saw the wider footballing pyramid continue it’s fixtures and CTFC academy’s players on dual registration gain a whole host of minutes.

Bevan Cross, a very recent dual registration with Southern Premier League side Yate Town, made his first appearance with the Bluebells as he was brought on from the bench in their draw with Sholing.

Piotr Petrynski started in Swindon Supermarine’s 4-2 win against Exmouth Town, with former Bluebirds’ academy player Dan Warre scoring for Marine.

Zak Beard started for the Wessex Premier’s Wincanton Town, as they faced Hampshire Senior Cup & Southampton Senior Cup winners AFC Stoneham. Unfortunately for Beard, Wincanton would fall to a 3-0 defeat on the opening day.

In the Hellenic Premier Division, Royal Wootton Bassett hosted Cirencester, with the home side containing Ed Taylor and Lewis Hayward. Basset led for most of the match before conceding at the death.

At Cribbs, Olek Yakymchuk played the full 90 and kept a clean sheet in their home draw to Highworth Town.

Elsewhere in the division, Callum Nowell, played the full 90 minutes in Hereford Pegasus’ away win at Longlevens, to keep up their perfect record.

In the Western League Div One, Jack Amor was in goal for Warminster Town, as they ran out 3-0 winners over Cadbury Heath.

In the same division, three of our players were involved in Welton Rovers’ 1-1 draw with Hengrove Athletic. Alex Kieh and Ashton Arlow both started with Gio Angelinetta on the bench.

Calne Town against Avonmouth saw Ed Oatley brought on from the bench late on, being impactful and setting up a teammate who fired over.

In the Hellenic League Div One, Joshua Bryden started a third consecutive league match as his Wellington FC side drew with Wantage Town.

And finally, in the Wiltshire Senior League Division One, Thomas Buckle played 71 minutes in Bishop’s Cannings’ late defeat away at Fairford Town Reserves.

Overall, a good weekend of minutes for our dual registered players and a further testament to the quality within our academy!
