FULL TIME: The Bucks dreams of Wembley have been ended by the Glovers this afternoon. Kevin Wilkin's side pushed hard in the second half but found the visitors too tough a nut to crack.

Dinanga wins a corner off Sims. The delivery into the box is cleared to Hilton in the 'D', he can't keep his shot down and clears the crossbar.

We'll play a minimum of four additional minutes.

'

Fletcher collects from a throw, conceded after Campbell's poor touch puts the ball out for a throw. The captain tries to drive his side forward once more, the move ends with a cross, held comfortably by Ward.

'

The Glovers have virtually everyone behind the ball as the Bucks set up camp around the box, trying to force something to happen.

'

Hilton wins a corner on the right. It's cleared back to him, rather than cross he finds Leshabela, his shot is blocked on the edge of the box.

Ward catches Piggott's deep cross from the right. After that Cawthorne and Campbell spat, Armson wasn't shy in telling Campbell what he thought of his actions.

Bucks booking.

Cawthorne is shown yellow, as is Tahvon Campbell, for a confrontation where they end up on the floor. Oliver is annoyed, and I think he feels Campbell elbowed him in the face a minute or so earlier.

'

Cawthorne takes the ball off Campbell, gives it to Leshabela, and he carries it 40-50 yards, deep into the Glovers half. The Bucks eventually work a crossing opportunity, the ball evades DAH.

ON: Jimmy Armson, Ricardo Dinanga. OFF: Matty Stenson, Remi Walker.

'

Cranston and Meddows look as though they've opened Yeovil up on the left, Jamie shifts the ball right rather than testing Ward, and the moment is gone.

'

Chance!

DAH evades a couple of tackles and finds Stenson, he surges into the box on the left, delays his shot almost too long, is forced wide, and then tries to score from a tight angle, flashing the ball too high.

'

The Bucks aren't lying down. Fletcher is committed in a tackle against Campbell, Meddows gets the ball on the left and his cross is met by Stenson, who beats Wannell in the air and nods the ball just wide to Ward's right.

'
Campbell nets the Glovers' second.

Campbell nets the Glovers' second.

The visitors respond to Bucks pressure in the best way possible, and some indecision by Piggott is seized upon by Tahvon Campbell, who is stronger, bounces Piggott off him and is then free to slot in past Gracey.

'

The Bucks are having more possession, and that's positive. They're looking more purposeful and are attacking the goal that their own fans are behind, and they're trying to lift them too.

'

Ward catches Walker's lofted corner delivery, a second corner after the Glovers repelled the first.

'

DAH's cross is cut out but loops over the bar for a corner.

'

It's heating up, a cross into the box is contested, but not by Stenson and Ferguson, who are in a grappling match, Matty is incandescent, feeling he was fouled, he confronts Ferguson and the Glovers man goes down, claiming a headbutt.

'

Walker's corner is headed clear to Cranston, he volleys it back at Ward in goal and gets underneath it, clearing the crossbar.

'

Meddows goes between two defenders on the left and wins a corner.

'

The Bucks haven't seen as much of the ball as you feel they need to, if they're to break through. Fletcher loses possession to Cousin Dawson, Leshabela covers and Gracey kicks clear.

'

Piggott fouled by Campbell, that came not long after a Glovers attack which ended in Gracey's grasp, holdoing a low shot.

'

The initial free-kick delivery was dealt with, recovered by Meddows, and then he and Leshabela set up Cranston to deliver; Cawthornwe has stayed up and makes contact but he's offside.

'

Cousin-Dawson announces his arrival by fouling Dyer and conceding an attacking free-kick, wide on the right.

We'll restart for the second half with Billy Rowley making a change for the visitors. ON: Finn Cousin-Dawson. OFF: Joshua Tobin.

HALF TIME: The Glovers lead at the break.

HALF TIME: The Glovers lead at the break.
'

I didn't see the board for the added time, but the Bucks are ending the half looking for a leveller. DAH can't control a long ball played up to him.

'

Cranston's delivery dips in at the far post, Wannell heads away from goal and then the Bucks are penalised for a foul. I don't know what Mr Farmer saw there...

'

Campbell fouls Piggott and a quick free-kick releases Stenson, who wins a corner on the left. The kick is defended and the Bucks win a corner on the opposite side.

'

Greenslade handles on the floor after a few tough tackles in quick succession, he's penalised, thinking he was fouled and was going to get the free-kick.

'

Campbell appeals for a foul after a heavy collision with Cawthorne, nothing given.

'

Cranston's delivery from the free-kick is too close to Ward in goal, he holds.

'

Ferguson handles on the floor after a Stenson tackle, and the Bucks get a free-kick, wide on the left, 30 yards out. Ferguson is booked too.

'

Greenslads is crafty and wins a free-kick after making a run unsupported up the right, waiting for Cranston's contact and going down. The resulting kick into the box brings a header that Gracey saves, but there was a Yeovil infraction so the Bucks get a free-kick.

'

Tobin booked for the visitors, stretching into a tackle on Stenson, somewhat from behind too, and hitting Matty's ankle. The Bucks' no.9 stays down, that looked painful.

'

A crossfield ball for Sims bounces up and the no.19 can't keep it in play, his jump to his fullest height not adding enough inches to reach it.

'
The Glovers lead.

The Glovers lead.

They will feel they deserve it for their strong start, but when the goal has come, it's a really unfortunate one for the Bucks. Greenslade's cross from tight to the goalline on the left clips off Dyer and beats Gracey at his near post.

'

The Bucks' best moment yet.

The home side find DAH on the move down the middle and he's got the beating of Wannell, but fluffs his finish.

'

The Glovers are moving the ball well and they find a way through on the right, sending Sims into space behind Cranston, but his low cross, met by Mafico, is steered over the crossbar to ironic cheers.

'

Piggott is nudged over in a chase for McGavin's big diagonal ball, sent to the left for Campbell to chase. Bucks free-kick.

'

McGavin's corner swings in to the far post but doesn't drop in time to find Jake Wannell's head, and it goes out for a goal kick.

'

Greenslade forces a corner on the left off Dyer, who covered his run well.

'

Troy Perrett can't beat the offside trap but then advances and taps the ball across goal for Campbell. Referee Farmer has a word with him but no card, all a bit unnecessary from the no.18, who clearly knew the whistle had gone.

'

Meddows does really well to thwart Mafico by the right corner flag, winning the Bucks a goal kick. The Bucks have been under the cosh a bit in the opening stages, but they've stayed in the game.

'

A corner for the visitors, they've been the bit more assertive of the two teams, a bit more physical, higher intensity, and the Bucks are busier negating them than building any attacks of their own.

'

Cranston concedes a corner, his header back to Gracey from a crossfield ball to the right lacking the control needed. The kick from the quadrant take the merest touch on a Glovers' head and goes wide.

'

Greenslade works a bit of space in the box to shoot, Dyer blocks his effort and then recovers to prevent a corner kick.

'

Dakarai Mafico is a bit too strong for Dyer on the Bucks' right, a crossing chance doesn't emerge.

'

A free-kick on the Bucks' left for a foul on DAN brings a Jordan Cranston delivery, which the the Glovers are able to defend.

'

We had a stoppage for attention to Gracey, play restarts with a drop ball and the Bucks nick possession and surge away through Alex Fletcher, whose pass for Dylan Allen-Hadley tests Kyle Ferguson's speed, he concedes a throw.

'

Close!

A low ball on from the Glovers' right isn't claimed by Josh Gracey, Harvey Greenslade pounces in the six yard box but a terrific sliding block from Ammar Dyer denies him.

'

An open start, both sides going on the attack early but those breaking down on the edge of the box.

'

The Bucks are attacking the goal at the Frank Nagington Stand end in the first half.

'
We're in progress...

We're in progress...

The Bucks are in all white, with the Glovers in red and black striped shirts, black shorts and black socks.

'

A reminder that today's tie will be settled on the day. So if scores are level after ninety minutes, under FA Trophy rules, we will go straight to a penalty shoot-out to decide who progresses. No extra time, straight to the spot.
