Colchester United match ticker

16:56 see you again next season

16:56 Full-time: Yeovil 0 Colchester 2

16:53 Attendance: 5,237

16:49 nearly a third - sub Wordsworth blasts narrowly over, and onto the terraces accommodating the away fans

16:40 Another good save from Gerken, this time beating away Alcock's shot. 0-2

16:38 Jackson booked - first yellow card of the game

16:36 Cousins is out of contract this summer and Coyne has been out of favour for quite a while

16:36 Coyne and Cousins are therefore the unused subs for the day - have they both played their last ever games for Colchester?

16:35 second and third U's substitutes - Wordsworth and Platt replace Izzet and Vernon

16:30 They had one lucky let-off with a shot from Obika that hit the post

16:30 Second half displays from the U's have often been indifferent this season, today could be the same

16:29 Jackson replaced Vincent as a sub on 56 mins, and Gerken has made one good save from Obika

16:29 nothing much has happened, still 0-2 after 67 mins

16:28 the long pause for technical problems is over

16:07 second half starts

15:50 half-time: Yeovil 0 Colchester 2

15:48 2 mins of injury time

15:48 A goalbound shot by Izzet is blocked by a defender. Poor Kemi has only scored one goal all season

15:43 Still 0-2. Looking forward to overtaking all those holiday caravans on the way back home

15:38 Welsh looking lively - a 30-yarder saved by Gerken. Still 0-2 after 36 mins

15:38 Yeovil's first real chance, when winger Welsh bursts through and crosses for Obika, a Tottenham loanee. But he cannot squeeze his shot past the red shirt of Gerken

15:26 22 mins gone and the U's in complete control. A typical away performance at the moment. Shame about the dreadful home form

15:18 Yeates' 12th goal of the season, timed at 15 mins

15:18 Yeates turns on the edge of the box and lets fly with a shot out of the blue that embarrasses keeper Weale at his near post

15:17 0-2 YEATES scores!

15:17 Vincent's first goal in a U's shirt

15:16 Yeates teases the Yeovil defence and squares for Vincent, whose low shot skids under the body of Weale and into the back of the net. Goal timed at 13 mins

15:15 0-1 VINCENT scores

15:15 12 mins and no goals - the brightest thing so far has been Dean Gerken's shirt - very, very red

15:08 5 mins gone and 0-0 - that was the perfect result three years ago

15:06 passed Stonehenge on the way down here. Lots of stones, people and sheep

15:05 Vernon up front alone, with Yeates just behind him

15:03 game kicks off

14:57 I was stuck in with the Yeovil fansm because of all the numbers of press three years ago - today I have 3 chairs and a big desk to myself!

14:56 Three years ago, the U's clinched promotion here and the away fans packed out one end - not quite the same numbers today!

14:56 U's squad: Gerken, Maybury, Baldwin, Heath, Tierney, Yeates, Hammond, Izzet, Hackney, Vincent, Vernon. Subs: Jackson, Coyne, Platt, Wordsworth, Cousins.

14:55 Hammond back after suspension, also recalls for Vernon, Maybury and Heath

14:52 Yeovil going through all their player-of-the-year awards - the U's just going through the motions

14:52 last game of the season - a bit different to this time three years ago!
