Yeovil Town 1-0 Woking
Enterprise National League
Huish Park
13th September 2025
Woking travelled down the A303 to take on Yeovil Town in an early Saturday kick off. Neal Ardley made just the one change to his side from the 5-0 win over Gateshead, as Harry Beautyman came in for Tim Akinola.
The hosts, who announced Danny Webb as their new manager yesterday, lined up with one ex Card – Junior Morias, in the starting lineup, whilst Tahvon Campbell made the bench. James Daly is currently injured and didn’t make the squad.
In the Somerset sunshine, Woking made a good start, pressing the hosts and forcing a number of set pieces. It took until twenty minutes into the game for this to materialise into a shot on target, but Jack Turner’s low driven shot was gathered easily by Jed Ward.
With the Cards looking like the only team that could make something happen, Beautyman’s free kick slightly right of centre curled towards the far post before Ward reacted late to tip it past the post, in what was a scrappy half with no real clear cut chances.
Half time: Yeovil Town 0-0 Woking
The hosts started the second half well and nearly broke the deadlock when Josh Sims’ dancing feet landed him a shot at goal, but his effort went wide.
Some heroic defending from Aaron Drewe denied Morias a tap in as he lept ahead of him to head clear, before a good Woking move ended in Hinds scuffing his shot wide after good link up with Kelly.
A huge chance for the hosts came with just under twenty minutes to go when a direct ball was headed down by Morias into the path of defender Morgan Williams, but he volleyed over from a few yards out with no one around him.
The introduction of former Woking forward Campbell sparked the hosts in to life, and after his shot was cleared off the line by Drewe, Yeovil had a lift.
It took a great tackle from Odusina to deny Campbell in stoppage time, but the following corner was smashed home by McCormick to give the hosts all three points.
A tough one to take for Woking, who host Southampton U21s on Tuesday before a tricky fixture against Forest Green next Saturday.
