Yeovil Town will be aiming to extend their run of unbeaten games to fourteen when they take on Farnborough at Huish Park tonight, kick-off 7.45 pm. The Glovers, who have won their last thirteen games in all competitions, are currently six points out in front at the top of National League South, with one game in hand.

Crewkerne Museum and Heritage Centre is celebrating winning a King’s Award for Voluntary Service. The award is given to voluntary groups in recognition of their outstanding work and is equivalent to an individual being given the MBE.

The former musical director of hit shows like Cats and Phantom of the Opera, Mike Stanley, has described Yeovil's Swan Theatre as "a lifeline" to the local arts scene. Mike has joined the Swan Theatre as a volunteer after leaving his role in London’s West End.
