Evesham continue to cling on to their play-off hopes with a third straight win today against Larkhall Athletic at the Jubilee Stadium and gain some revenge for losing in the play-off semi-finals last season.
Evesham took the league in the 13th minute when Adam Mann scored after being set up by Jacob Sloggett.
The visitors from Bath equalised on the half hour when central defender Will Wellon was adjudged to have fouled Dean Griffiths in the box and the resultant penalty was put away by Jamie Lyons.
The game remained pretty even until injury time in the first half when Ashley Williams scored his first goal for the club with a powerful header from a Sean Wood corner kick.
Five minutes after the break, a Lance Smith effort was pushed out to Lewis Binns on the edge of the box who shot into an empty net. Smith and Mann went close before the 78th minute when a Clayton Green cross was put away by Mann from close range.
In the 89th minute Larkhall scored a soft goal with Josh Egan netting, but there was still time for Adam Mann, set up by Lewis Binns, to complete his hat –trick with the final kick of the match.
So that is 2 defeats in 19 games, and are up to seventh having played a couple more games than their rivals.
