EVESHAM United impressed as a last-minute goal sealed a 1-1 draw against Kettering Town in their penultimate pre-season game. 

Having clinched promotion back to step three last season, the side did well against the established step three side as Levi Steele's additional time goal cancelled out Shane Flynn's first half opener. 

New Robins signing Ethan Dunbar was the first to come close on the night, breaking through just three minutes into the tie, but fired just wide of the post. 

He broke through again 10 minutes later but again fired wide of the mark. 

However it was Kettering who drew first blood. Flynn found space on the edge of the area and cannoned a shot in, which nestled in the bottom right of the goal, leaving Mike Ford's side trailing at the break.

The close-run affair yielded less opportunities in the second period as Kettering looked to hold onto their lead. 

Neither side could net again until the dying embers of the match, when Levi Steele broke through and fired home to draw it even in the second minute of additional time. 

United will next play St Ives Town in their final pre-season match  on Saturday, August 2, before beginning life in the Southern League Premier South away against Weymouth on Saturday, August 9.
