Evesham II 47pts, Ludlow II 12

EVESHAM finished 2004 off in style with a comprehensive home victory in Saturday's friendly encounter.

Running in seven tries, the home side showed the kind of form that has seen them win the 2003/2004 Hereford and Worcester Merit League and lead the championship again this season.

Evesham attacked from the start with scrum-half Chris Evis going over early in the match.

Further tries came the way of from Paul Turpitt (2), Tim Carsberg (2), Dave Howarth and Mike Figgit. Carsberg converted six out of seven conversions.
