- FA CUP: Rugby Town 1 (Blythe 52) Evesham United 0
- RICHARD Blythe's rising drive decided this scrappy tie in favour of a resilient Rugby outfit.
- Evesham lacked fluency and could not breach the backline of stubborn opponents who belied their lower-league status.
- Blythe pounced on some hesitant United passing in front of their own 18-yard box to let fly with a high shot that flew past keeper Harvey Rivers 52 minutes in.
- Evesham huffed and puffed and should have equalised nine minutes from time when Nathan Summers thumped wide a Joe Tumelty corner from close range.
- Rivers nearly caught out Rugby counterpart Matthew Hill with a driven free-kick from the halfway line but in truth, the hosts just about warranted their win.
- Rugby: Hill, Rosser, Perkins, Edwards, Recci, Marsden, Rankin, Bunting, Evans, Johnson, Blythe.
- Subs: Lockley, Holloway, Kavanagh, Adams.
- Robins: Rivers, Hancock, Tunnicliff, Turley, Summers, Wellon, Tucker-Dixon, Williams, Brain, Haskayne, Thomas.
- Subs: Humphreys, Dovey, Brown, Tumelty, Davies, Taylor.
- Attendance: 225.
