Evesham III 0,

Birmingham University III 1

A DREADFUL defensive mix-up and a late chance missed saw Evesham's third string lose out by a solitary goal last weekend.

A fitter and quicker student side can count themselves lucky to have returned home with the points after seeing their hosts squander several first half chances before the home defence gifted Birmingham their goal.

Evesham dug in well after the break but still couldn't manage to find the net and were left kicking themselves late on when they missed an open goal.

They will be hoping for a change of luck at Stone on Saturday (4pm).
