Our Evesham boys were knocked out of the 4th Qualifying Round of the FA Cup by Halifax and the Shaymen become our new team to follow.The two sides could not be separated at St Georges Lane drawing the first game 0-0 in front of a bumper 652 fans.
The Robins again performed magnificently in the replay and pushed Halifax all the way and the only boos ringing around the ground at the end came from the disgruntled 1,025 home fans. JAMES KNOTT had given Evesham the perfect start when he capitalised on a fourth minute error to stun the Yorkshire hosts.
However, Town hit back and drew level after 14 minutes when ex Millwall man Steve Torpey crossed for NATHAN VAUGHAN to head past Jon Shaw.
Halifax then took the lead nine minutes before the break when the United keeper could only stand and watch as SIMON HESLOP's thumping drive from 35 yards flew into the top corner.
Halifax Town from the Conference National will now play at home to Nigel Clough's Burton Albion.
