In-form Yeovil recorded their fourth win on the trot with a gutsy display at
Mansfield and sealed victory thanks to Kirk Jackson's strike.
The visitors, promoted to the Football League last season, secured the points
when Jackson poked the ball home through a crowded area in the first half.
Jackson, Gavin Williams and Roy O'Brien all went close for Yeovil, while the
hosts' best chances saw Wayne Corden blast into the side netting and Junior
Mendes hit the post following a fine run.
After the break Mansfield took control and Tom Curtis' volley just after the
hour was well saved by Yeovil keeper Chris Weale.
