KAI Churchley’s goal earned Evesham United a 1-0 pre-season victory against fellow Step Three side Worcester City.
Churchley scored the game’s only goal in first-half injury time at the Spiers and Hartwell Stadium.
Evesham inflicted a first pre-season defeat on Worcester while the Robins secured back-to-back friendly wins.
Worcester went close early on when a trialist found space in the box but saw a close-range effort drift wide of the target.
The Robins tested Cristiano Dzialuk in the Worcester goal soon after as the City shot-stopper tipped Josh Barlow’s effort from the edge of the penalty area onto the crossbar.
And Evesham took the lead moments before the break as Churchley followed up Brandon Liggett’s initial effort to chip the ball over a stranded Dzialuk.
Neither side threatened after the break as a late free-kick from Worcester’s Brandon Smalley drifted harmlessly off target.
Evesham continue their pre-season campaign against Cheltenham Town on Saturday, July 18 with kick-off at 3pm at the Spiers and Hartwell Stadium.
