Evesham United 2, Gloucester City 2

.

MARK Hands netted twice in the space of six second half minutes to earn the Robins a share of the spoils.

Trailing to goals from Luke Ballinger and Mike Symons after ten and 59 minutes respectively, United's unbeaten start to the season looked at an end.

However, Hands converted Danny Lennon's cross after 68 minutes and then seized on an error after substitute Allando Davis had sent in a 74th minute centre to sweep the ball past Kevin Sawyer in the City goal.

And, Paul West's battling troops almost bagged a winner six minutes from time after Gary Hay and Simon Fitter combined but Lennon saw his header cleared off the line by Nell Mustoe with Sawyer beaten.

The only blot on another impressive display was a hamstring injury picked up by Danny Scheppel that will almost certainly rule him out Monday's visit to Halesowen.
