Yeovil Town to host a 'party in the park' after league win
There will be celebrations at Huish Park on the day of their fixture against Dartford
Last updated 12th Apr 2024
After the win comes the party - and that's exactly what will be happening this weekend over at Huish Park - the champions of the National League South, Yeovil Town.
The Glovers will be facing off against Dartford in their first match as winners of the league - less than a year since they were relegated.
The side's promotion back into the National League was secured in Gloucester, when they took on Truro City - and all the Glovers needed was a single point.
They did it in style, taking both goals in the match over at the Tigerturf Stadium.
Boss Mark Cooper said: "I'm delighted. That was the only outcome after last year - it was so important that we bounced back.
"The owner has been so great, and has given us the opportunity to sign some good players and to rebuild the club.
"I'm so pleased for the players and the staff, and the fans were top drawer - it means the world.
"I thought we played really well last Saturday at home, but when it's not meant to be, it's not meant to be.
"Tonight, we risked a couple with injuries - but our players were in control of the game, and these nights are what football's all about.
"I want to win on Saturday now, in front of a packed Huish Park - and then we can have a party."
