EVESHAM United came from behind to beat league leaders Yate Town 2-1 and keep their title hopes alive.

Goals either side of half time from Reegan Messenger and Andre Wright earned the Robins a valuable three points at the Spiers and Hartwell Stadium.

The result means Evesham sit second in the Southern League Division One South table, seven points behind table toppers Yate.

Yate broke the deadlock on 15 minutes as Lucas Tomlinson finished a low ball in from the left from close range.

However, Evesham equalised three minutes before half time when Messenger headed in a corner from the right at the near post.

And Wright completed the turnaround on 53 minutes when he rose highest to head home William Owens’ cross.




Evesham are next in action against Bideford AFC on Tuesday, March 11 with kick-off at 7.45pm at the Spiers and Hartwell Stadium.
