EVESHAM United ended a topsy-turvy pre-season on a winning note by scoring twice in each half to beat Midland League Premier Division outfit Westfields 4-0 at the Jubilee Stadium.

Winger George Washbourne had a field day down the left for Paul Collicutt's side, chipping in with two goals and giving Fields' defence the runaround.

The visitors, who had four former Evesham players in their line-up, had an early let-off when Lee Smith's goalbound shot struck United old boy Michael Tambling on the line before going behind for a fruitless corner.

Further chances fell to Nick Stanley (twice), Lance Smith and Lee Smith but were not taken, while Aiden Thomas forced a full-length save out of Kevin Sawyer at the other end.

The breakthrough finally arrived on 22 minutes when the impressive Stanley netted with a 25-yarder past diving keeper Jon Hopkins.

Skipper Matt Sysum headed against the post before Washbourne made it 2-0 with a screamer that curled into the top corner.

It became 3-0 soon after the interval when Washbourne finished off a fine move with a well-placed drive low to Hopkin's left.

More enterprising play resulted in United's final goal on 62 minutes when the lively Lee Smith made no mistake with an accomplished finish after beating several defenders inside the penalty box.

Former Evesham favourite Marcus Palmer squandered a good opportunity after Sawyer denied Mark Burgess but there were no further alarms for United.

Evesham: Sawyer, Wilson, Wellon, Williams (Wood 63), Sysum (Harding 58), Dovey, Lee Smith (Green 63), Stanley (Jackson 63, Lee Smith 72), Lance Smith (Mann 45), Brown (Slack 53), Washbourne. Subs not used: Fishwick.
