YATE picked up their first win of the season after a hard- fought match at Wimborne. Dave Mogg’s side deserved their victory, but they had to battle hard to overcome a Wimborne side that never gave up and it needed a series of fine saves from goalkeeper Josh Demspey to ensure they kept the Dorset side at bay. Indeed, Dempsey made a good early save to stop Wimborne taking the lead when Lee Chudy broke clear of the visitors&rsquo...

Is it just me of has anyone else noticed that there appears to be more and more younger teens in the gym in Yate leisure centre? I’m not sure if there is an age restriction on children entering gyms but I would have thought below the age of 16 it would be unhealthy for children to use gym equipment. Surely their bodies are not developed enough to be able to benefit from exercise. A gym workout is much different than PE. ...

It must have been the do or die stakes that brought it to my attention, but out in Yate yesterday football fever spiked a temperature, and so did the sunshine. Was it just I or did there appear to be more flags and more football shirts on display? Not only just more shirts on display, but a sea of red shirts. I think we all firmly believe we play better in red. I sense there may have been a few people in the pubs of...

By Yate-People at 07:00 on 31/08/10

ROSS Stern plundered a last-gasp leveller to give Almondsbury Town boss Richard Thompson a share of the spoils on his return to Lodge Road. Former Yate manager Thompson was making a first return to the club he managed for nine years before his reign was ended 18 months ago. He looked set to endure a losing comeback on his old stomping ground before Stern popped up at the back post to execute an acrobatic stoppage-time volley to...

Ringwood Town 4 Yate Town 1 Wessex League Ringwood Town proved too strong for a Yate side who were well beaten and rarely in the game. A poor defensive performance left manager Dave Mogg disappointed and he said: “We got what we deserved – nothing.” Mogg will be looking for his side to raise their game and show a big improvement for today’s home...
