EVESHAM United claimed a narrow 1-0 win against Tavistock AFC despite finishing the game with nine-men.

A scrappy 19th minute goal from Josh Barlow proved decisive at the Spiers and Hartwell Stadium.

However, the Robins lost Levi Francis to a straight red card in first-half injury time before Will Owens received a second yellow card just past the hour mark.

Despite playing for more than half an hour with nine-men Evesham held on to claim the points.

The result means the Robins sit third in the Southern League Division One South table, 10 points behind leaders Yate Town with a game in-hand.

Evesham are next in action against Exmouth Town on Saturday, December 21 with kick-off at 3pm at Southern Road.
