Road to Wembley - Easy for Evesham

The Robins from the Cotswold didn't let us down on Saturday when Evesham thrashed Halesown Town from a level higher 3-0.

Paul West's men outplayed Halesowen in all departments and thoroughly deserved their place in the FA Cup fourth qualifying round draw.

Chances were at a premium in the first half when United more than matched their more established opponents but it took MARK OWEN just two minutes of the second half to break the deadlock with controlled curled finish to maintain his record of scoring in every round.

Owen turned provider ten minutes later when it was left to JAMES KNOTT to provide a sweet finish.

Nathan Vaughan was forced into the save of the match to keep out Aaron Farrell's 71st minute header before united substitute DANNY SCHEPPEL netted with the last kick of the game to complete a fabulous afternoon for the Robins.

iT rounded off a quite splendid afternoon and guaranteed the hosts a £5,000 windfall in front a crowd of 332 at St George's Lane.

In the 4th Qualifying Round, Evesham were drawn at home to Halifax Town from the Conference National, 3 levels higher than the Robins. The game will take place at St George's Lane on October 27th.
