ANOTHER three points, another unbeaten record torn to shreds and a Manager of the Month in waiting. That's the triumphant tale of another successful Saturday.

Two goals in the opening 17 minutes helped United raise their total of points collected since Christmas to 17 and that means they have doubled the number of Western Division points that they had gathered in the opening four months of the season.

Halesowen came into Saturday's game on the back of a 6-0 home win that made it 11 undefeated at The Grove, boasting the section's top goalscorer and having scored an average of three goals every match.

The latter statistic needed to be matched in the final 73 minutes after a Richard Colwell own goal after 12 minutes and Lee Ross's close-range strike had given Dave Busst's boys a deserved advantage.

While Ross and Craig Pountney, who had a hand in both goals, have been claiming the major plaudits, it was the midfield quartet that caught the eye as Evesham stretched their unbeaten sequence to seven games.

Sean Flynn pulled the first half strings, while Simon Marsh, Grant Pinkney and Craig Nicholls provided admirable support as the promotion chasers were overrun.

Marsh is now showing the kind of form that made him a favourite of the Stourport fans, while Nicholls gets better with every game. However, it's Pinkney who Busst is bringing the best out of.

Tenacious tackling, delightful dribbling and a willingness to track back are all assets the Badsey lad has rediscovered during his side's amazing transformation.

He came close to ending a goal drought that goes back to the end of November, while also supplying an endless stream of second half crosses that tormented the Halesowen rearguard.

Only a fine stop from Matt Sheils kept out Pinkney's 35th minute strike as Evesham sought a clinching third as they dominated a poor home side.

Nicholls, Pountney and Ross also came close to making it 3-0, while former Halesowen stopper Tim Clarke was alert as early as the fifth minute to keep out a Lewis Baker header and then smother the ball at the feet of Steve Piearce after a rare moment of slackness at the heart of the United defence.

Baker again went close after the break before both sides made double changes that had little effect on the outcome.

United were comfortable although, had Clarke not made a superb save to thwart Simon Hollis 20 minutes from time, then the visitors might have had a more nervy final quarter.

As it was it was left to Ross to come closest to finding the net with a late 25-yarder that hit the crossbar on an afternoon when the resurgent Robins were able to sit back in the second half and easily claim the scalp of another of the division's so called "big boys".
