RICHARD Ball's double strike at Mangot-sfield last weekend lifted his season's Sout-hern League tally to 15.

The brace that helped earn Evesham a crucial point took took Ball within one goal of the Premier Division's leading goalgetters Daniel Bloomfield of King's Lynn and Chippenham's David Gilroy.

Mangotsfield striker Rob Claridge has 14 goals to his name - the same total as Salis-bury's Matthew Tubbs.

Six players are tied on the 13-goal mark including Bath City's Scott Partridge, the only player in the top 11 apart from Ball to find the net last weekend, and Bedford Town's Rene Howe.
