Yeovil Town start pre-season with convincing 4-1 victory Yeovil Town began their National League pre-season preparations with a dominant 4-1 win over Melksham Town on Saturday. The Glovers, who finished 16th last season with 51 points (15W-6D-25L) and a -20 goal difference, showed promising form in their first test under manager Billy Rowley. ## What stood out in the friendly? Rowley was pleased with his side's performance, noting they looked 'quite familiar' despite only training together for about 10 days. Luke McCormick impressed with two goals, while new signing Stephen Walker scored his first for the club. McCormick's return to form was particularly notable after an injury-hit end to last season. ## Key moments from the match Yeovil raced into a 3-1 lead at half-time thanks to McCormick's brace and Walker's debut goal. After the break, a completely different XI took the field, with Brett McGavin curling in a free-kick to complete the scoring. Defender Joy Mukena was the only concern, forced off with a hamstring issue he'd been managing all week. ## What's next for Yeovil Town? The Glovers continue their pre-season schedule with a trip to Wales to face Merthyr Town this Tuesday. Rowley praised the attitude of his squad and the support from fans, setting a positive tone ahead of the new campaign.
