A REDUCED Evesham and District League programme was affected by heavy overnight frost last Sunday.

Third division Honeybourne Gate Inn maintained their push for promotion hitting eight past Oddfellows Arms with Phil Layton netting five and Carl Benfield a hat-trick.

Leaders Ambassador maintained their perfect league record, defeating Riverside with goals from Davies (2), Emms and Young despite a below-par performance.

Doubles from Hawkins and Bayliss with a further effort from Jordan saw Broadway United comfortably account for Swan Sports.

Mountinneers continued their impressive season in Division Four with victory at Broadway Reserves, with goals from Simpson (2) and Rowland. The match was marred when Broadway's Barney Crowley sustained a broken leg.

Crown Athletic, unable to raise a team a fortnight ago, regrouped with a win over Tewkesbury Town Reserves with the help of a Hancock hat-trick.

A Chris Malin treble and two from Griffiths saw Servicemen's defeat Bell United, while Badsey Rec Reserves remain second as goals from Smith Curry and Cotterill helped defeat Hampton WMC.

Upton Snodsbury and Lower Moor United both recorded wins to reach the last eight of the WFA Sunday Minor Cup, to give the league six quarter-finalists in various County Cup competitions.
