EVESHAM UNITED 2 v 2 PAULTON ROVERS

Paulton travel to face second placed after their last two games over the last week were postponed due to the weather.

A terrific battling performance saw Paulton grab a point at promotion chasing Evesham United.

Evesham had two early chances as Rovers keeper Andrew Hannah held a low shot from Garyn Preen then a Liam Harding header.

On 15 minutes Sol Wheatley won the ball in his own half drove forward laid to Kailan Gould who shot low past Kevin Sawyer to give the visitors the lead.

Two minutes later United levelled as Nick Stanley's free kick was headed home by Lorcan Sheehan.

Evesham made it 2-1 on 38 minutes as Harding's shot was parried by Hannah and Lance Price drove home.

On half time Rovers should have got back into the game as Reeko Best outpaced the home defence and as he bore down he slipped with only Sawyer to beat.

Evesham could have gone further ahead as Sheehan headed wide and Hannah saved from Price and Mark Maggs. Rovers response was Josh Ford heading wide from Ricketts free kick.

Sub Ryan Shaw beat Sawyer only for him to see his volley hit the cross bar.

On 86 minutes Wheatley picked up the ball on the half way and strike that superb equaliser to seal that deserved point.
