We have received lots of enquiries tonight and we can say the game is definitely on.
Preview taken from today’s Worcester News.
Evesham United are aiming to become the first team to record a league double over runaway Evo-Stik Southern League Division One South and West leaders Merthyr Town tomorrow (3pm). The Robins, who are on a 12-game unbeaten streak, are the only team to have won at Cigg-E Stadium this term and one of only two sides to have beaten the Welshmen.
Stanley: Scored winner at Merthyr
December’s 1-0 win is one of 10 registered by Paul Collicutt’s side during their run to fourth in the table. Manager Collicutt said: “Not many teams have gone there and won and we’ve got the chance of doing the double over them. We are the only team to have beaten them at home so they will be out for revenge. We couldn’t be going into the game in better form and we are giving ourselves a good chance to perform against Merthyr and we are looking forward to it. For a home game, it’s the hardest this season, they are at the top and rightly so, they are the best team in the league and I would imagine they would win the league by 10 to 15 points. I think it hurt them when they didn’t get automatic promotion last season and missed out in the play-offs. They are stronger this year so it speaks volumes for the way we performed there.”
Evesham have drafted in Chippenham Town goalkeeper Conor Thompson for two games to cover for Kevin Sawyer’s suspension.
Striker Adam Mann, 23, has signed until the end of next season following a loan spell from Gloucester City.
Defenders Lewis Binns (ankle) and Linden Dovey (illness) and midfield duo Nick Stanley (knee) and Liam Harding (back) are all doubts. Elliot Kennedy is also now available.
