RICHARD Ball netted a superb hat-trick but it wasn't enough to catapult the Ribins into a prmotion spot.
Yate Town's 3-1 triumph at Rothwell left Evesham trailing by two points despite Saturday's 4-0 success against Cinderford.
Ball netted twice in first half stoppage-time and completed his hat-trick two minutes from time to ensure his side have home advantage should they reach next weekend's play-off final.
Leon Blake banged in a belter after 78 minutes to cap a fine home show and the fans will be hoping for more of the same when Ashford Town arrive at Common Road on Monday for the play-off semi-final.
Victory for United will earn a home date with either Clevedon or Bromsgrove who also do battle on Bank Holiday Monday.
