Yeovil Town bounced back to winning form with a thrilling 3-2 victory over struggling Morecambe in the Enterprise National League at Huish Park. The Glovers, eager to escape the relegation zone, took an early lead thanks to Brett McGavin, who unleashed a powerful long-range strike just 10 minutes into the match.
However, Morecambe, also fighting to avoid the drop, responded before halftime with Gwion Edwards netting his fourth goal of the season to level the score.
As the second half unfolded, Yeovil regained the lead shortly before the hour mark when James Daly expertly placed the ball into the bottom corner. Daly nearly secured a second goal on the night but missed a close-range opportunity as he pushed for a brace.

This vital victory not only lifts Yeovil’s spirits but also provides them with crucial points as they continue their fight to move away from relegation in the competitive National League.
