Yate town fc6/10/2023 Balls up from young players Ross Ewen and Jack Selby, gave Bradley Wilson and Meshach Williams the openings to threaten the Yate goal. After 16 minutes, the visitors struck, a low cross eluded the dive of Harvey White to two waiting Yate players with Adam Price touching the ball over the line, with most people thinking this would settle Yate down and see the promotion seekers take control they were wrong, as it was the home side that took control of the game. All Yate’s hard work was almost undone, when Ross Ewen broke out and played the ball onto Bradley Wilson, his cross was headed goalward bringing a miracle save from Alexis Andre Junior tipping the ball onto the bar and over for a corner to Fleet, this was played into the middle of the box to produce another excellent chance with a Fleet head first to the ball but off target and flashed wide of the post. The visitors, looking for a win that could have taken them back to the top of the table, had the better of the opening ten minutes, with Fleet only able to get out over half way a couple of times, Yate pushed Fleet back with a string of balls into the box, but even though the defence were able to clear the box, the ball came back in quickly time and again. These are the things we'll look back on in the future.Fleet Town bounced back from the disappointments of last Saturday’s game at Paulton, by turning on the style against the second placed Bluebells of Yate. "We've had a little moment in the changing room together. "It's half-term so I'm going to enjoy it and hopefully all the boys can share this moment," he said. Yate have a busy 10 days coming up, with an FA Trophy qualifying match against Willand Rovers and a league game against Salisbury before the tie with Yeovil, but Michael hopes to squeeze in some time to celebrate their achievements. They were cool, calm and we saw it out other than a couple of shots that peppered the goal we saw it out and I think we deserved it on effort alone." "When he put six up, I didn't think I could take six more but the boys were calmer than me. "Often you think, you trust the boys, we can do what we can do, but today I was very, very nervous. "Emotionally drained is right, the last 10 minutes I've never been so anxious and nervous and bouncing around," Michael, who also works as a teacher, continued. When the game was eventually played a week later, Yate substitute James Harding scored the winner after 75 minutes. The replay had originally been postponed due to an issue with the floodlights at Yate's Lodge Road ground. ![]() The victory over Dover was a replay, after the first match ended 1-1 at Dover's Crabble Stadium. ![]() We all said one team from our league always gets to the first round, why can't it be us. We started our campaign back in September back in Dorchester. Another home draw against a conference team - why not? So to be in the first round proper is amazing. I've played at this level for 11, 12 years and not once got near this round. "We've had to win four, five games to get here. ![]() "For players at our level to make the first round is dream stuff," said Yate's Andy Lewis, who also works as a deputy head teacher when not playing football. This time around they have won £9,375 in prize money as well as setting up the home tie against the National League Glovers. It is only the second time in Yate's 114-year history that they have gone beyond the FA Cup's preliminary rounds, having also reached the first round in 2012. It only comes around now and again and to do it now is very special," Michael told BBC Radio Bristol. That doesn't happen very often in your career as a non-league manager, as a non-league player. We've gone four games to get to this stage now. Yate now face Yeovil Town in the first round on Saturday, 6 November. The seventh-tier side defeated Dorchester, Gosport Borough and Redhill in the previous stages.
