A STRONG second half performance with goals from McCall and Scrivens saw Jacksons Fairfield reach the final of the Birdseye Sports Evesham Sunday League Knockout Cup for the first time in the club’s short history as they defeated Defford/Besford United 2-0.
In the final Jacksons will lock horns with Division One outfit Fladbury Athletic, who were narrowly beaten by leaders Evesham WMC in a league game.
First half goals from Dixon and Elliott Grady gave the Workies an early lead, but Fladbury replied through Nightingale and James before a disastrous home own goal gave the visitors all three points and a 3-2 win which enhances their position at the top of the table.
Bretforton Old Boys continued to push for top spot with 3-1 win at WMK in which Pritchard netted for the home side and Richardson, Brown and Matt Layton completed the scoring for the visitors.

The only game in Division Three saw visitors Badsey Recreation come away from Cropthorne with a 3-2 victory through goals from Bishop, Trotman and Lowe. Letterese netted twice for the hosts.
