FANTASTIC scenes that matched the performance resulted in party time at Common Road last Saturday.

This was a dazzling Evesham display and the joyous scenes at the final whistle celebrated the club's elevation to top flight Southern League football for the first time.

It was fitting, on an afternoon when all the home players did the club proud, that it was Grant Pinkney who should grab the scoring honours.

The only player in the side who lives in the town opened the scoring after four minutes with a cool finish after a mistake by Matt Johnson.

Amazingly, Pinkney had predicted before the game that he would score twice and United would win 4-0!

And, it was the utility man who wrapped up victory in the play-off final with a second two minutes after the break when he sneaked in at the back post to convert Matty Hall's header back into the penalty area.

To be honest, it was a stroll for the Robins against a disappointing Rovers outfit who let their large band of supporters in the 1,200-plus crowd down badly.

That isn't to take anything away from the performance of Dave Busst's men who perhaps produced their best all-round effort of the season and were in control from the kick-off when Jermaine Clarke and Richard Ball almost opened up the visiting defence.

It wasn't all one-way traffic, although it was in terms of goals, when Steve Duncan headed United into a 2-0 lead from the recalled Gavin O'Toole's astute 19th minute free-kick.

Tim Clarke displayed a calmness and agility that belied his advancing years, pawing out Matt Gardner's 26th minute header and then scrambling to the floor to deny Kevin Banner after Leon Mitchell's shot had struck the inside of a post ten minutes before half-time.

Clarke and Ball had earlier prised open the Bromsgrove rearguard but the latter's left-footer was smothered by Matt Lowe and United went into the break knowing another goal would kill off their county rivals.

It wasn't long in arriving and there was an inevitability about Bromsgrove's acceptance that they weren't going to score three times against a side that had conceded more than two goals just once in their 42 league matches.

After Paul Szewczyk had ballooned a good chance over the top, Duncan and Leon Blake superbly carved out a chance for Clarke but the striker's shot drifted wide.

His namesake between the sticks then superbly tipped petulant substitute Arthur Appleton's 65th minute header over the bar before Blake's close-range drive was blocked by Lowe.

However, the diminutive midfielder had the final say and capped a magnificent afternoon with a terrific dead-ball 81st minute strike.

Unfortunately, his celebration earned his side a fifth caution of the match, while Duncan's efforts to protect himself from mass provocation from Broms-grove players brought a sixth and subsequent early shower.

The visitors' miserable afternoon was summed up on the stroke of full time when Mitchell broke clear only to find the immaculate Steven Hands and Anthony Watson blocking his path to goals and goalkeeper Clarke on hand to smother the ball after a bout of penalty box pinball.

Cue the final whistle and scenes that will remain forever in the minds of all concerned involved with the club in what has been a truly remarkable last seven days of a never to be forgotten campaign.
