Evesham Keep Their Top Five Hopes Alive

Evesham United are taking the final play-off place in the Pitching In Southern League Division One South to the wire after beating Bristol Manor Farm at The Creek on Monday night.

The points were equally as important for Manor Farm in their attempt to move out of the bottom four, but a crowd of 289 saw Alfie Dunn give the Robins a 28th minute lead with a chip over the home keeper, although it looked more like an attempted cross!

But 5 minutes after half-time, Kyle Belmonte went through to net neatly to make it 2-0 and 4 minutes from time, the same player scored his second and Evesham’s third with a neat near post finish.

Evander Grubb netted a consolation for the hosts 4 minutes into stoppage time.

Evesham are now just a point behind fifth-placed Tavistock AFC and level with sixth-placed Bashley – both have two games remaining.
