Evesham made the long trip to Dorset to take on Wimborne Town this afternoon. Without the suspended Matt Sysum and Clayton Green, plus the injured Liam Harding, the visitors started well and took the lead in the third minute. The goal came from a swinging cross from the right by Jacob Sloggett that was hit first time by Lewis Binns from six yards out. Evesham continued to boss the first half but failed to convert a hatful of chances.
The second half saw early work for Evesham keeper Kevin Sawyer who tipped over a dipping shot from Preston over the bar. On the hour Adam Mann hit the post that would have made it 2-0, with Sawyer making further stops including a clearance off the line.
Wimborne pressed late on, but Evesham remained dangerous on the break.
So that is one defeat in twelve league games and remain in eighth place, five points off the play-off positions. Next up a trip to Swindon Supermarine on Tuesday, kick-off 7,45pm.
