United in search for an upturn

EVESHAM United look for an immediate return to winning ways at Bridgwater Town on Saturday (3pm).

Following back-to-back victories, the Robins lost 2-1 at home to Shortwood United last Saturday despite taking the lead through a Jamie Hyde goal.

Manager Paul West wants his side to put that match behind them and has targeted three Evo-Stik Southern Football League Division One South and West points in Somerset.

He said: “We are trying to put a run of results together so it was very disappointing against Shortwood. It will be a test of character to bounce back and we need to do that.”

Evesham, who also visit Sholing next Wednesday (7.45pm), are without midfielder James Blake who is serving a three-game ban.

Defenders Richard Mansell and Chris Jackson should be fit after knee and shoulder injuries respectively.
