Tamworth won 0-1 at Yeovil Town on the evening of 3 March, a result that reflected a disciplined visiting performance built on an early goal and sensible game management thereafter.
Aaron Jarvis gave Tamworth the lead on 33 minutes, and it was a goal that settled the visitors into their rhythm. Yeovil struggled to find a way through for much of the first half, and a succession of substitutions in the second period told its own story about their inability to change the flow of the match through normal means.
The half-time and immediately post-interval period brought a flurry of personnel changes on both sides, with Finn Cousin-Dawson, Ben Milnes, Declan Skura and Tyler Roberts all introduced in quick succession. Tamworth absorbed the pressure that followed without serious alarm, though James Daly was cautioned on 57 minutes as the hosts pressed for an equaliser.
Ryan Jones had already collected a booking before the interval, and the card count rose further as the game became increasingly stretched. Michael Reindorf and Dan Creaney were shown yellow for Tamworth in the final quarter, while Alex Whittle, Tahvon Campbell and Callum Cockerill-Mollett came on as Yeovil threw more bodies forward. Kyle Ferguson and Ollie Hughes departed late in injury time.
Alfie Bates received a card in stoppage time as frustrations boiled over, but by then the points were already settled. Tamworth defended their lead with composure and earned three deserved away points.
