Swindon Village Bowmen B 4,

Evesham Utd U-11 6

SUNDAY'S ten-goal thriller proved to be Evesham's toughest game of the season.

It was won in the first half, but well defended in the second, as the home team changed their game to take advantage of the sloping pitch.

Henry Woods opened the scoring after Sam Ford's pass allowed him to breach the offside trap.

The same player then made it 2-0 when he slipped past the goalkeeper after Louis Brown's pass.

Ford then put in a superb cross for Brown to volley in, only for the Bowmen to strike back almost at once.

Tom Evans scored after drawing out the keeper and lobbing him, following Brown's through ball but the Villagers pulled another back after a defensive mistake, only for James Bearcroft to lash home an Evans' corner to restore the advantage.

The Bowmen had Evesham all "a quiver", pressurising the defence as they pushed forward in the second half, looking to maintain their unbeaten record.

The tactic appeared to be working with two excellent goals that brought the score back to 5-4 but, just when it looked like they might force a draw, James Coldrick took the ball on a run and crossed for Woods to complete his hat-trick and put the result beyond doubt.
