EVESHAM United exited the FA Trophy at the third round qualifying stage following a 2-0 home defeat against Ilkeston Town.

Goals from Jordan Stevens and Seth Okyere condemned the Robins to defeat at the Spiers and Hartwell Stadium.

Evesham play at the same level as Ilkeston who ply their trade in the Northern Premier League Premier division.

Ilkeston broke the deadlock after just 13 minutes when Stevens burst into the box and fired a low shot into the bottom right corner.

And the visitors doubled their lead in style on 29 minutes as Sheffield United loanee Okyere placed a stunning effort into the top right corner from 30-yards out following a corner from the right.

Evesham are next in action against Tiverton Town on Saturday, October 11 with kick-off at 3pm at the Spiers and Hartwell Stadium.
