YEOVIL BOW OUT OF JPT AGAINST ORIENT

Yeovil Town's invoolvement in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy came to an end last night as they were beaten by a late goal against Leyton Orient at the Matchroom Stadium.

Orient leading scorer David Mooney struck with the decisive goal for the hosts who were reduced to ten men in the second half following the dismissal of midfielder Anthony Griffith.

The Glovers were cheered on by over 800 fans who made the journey from South Somerset on free coaches, which were provided by the club to ensure that as many fans travelled to the game as possible.

For Yeovil, they can now look back on their run in their longest run in the competition, which has included wins over Bristol Rovers, Torquay United and Wycombe Wanderers.

They can also look ahead to the possibility of a Play-Off challenge as they are currently only three points behind 6th placed MK Dons in the league table.
