EVESHAM United finished their warm-up for the 2025/26 Southern League Premier South campaign with a 0-0 draw against St Ives Town in their final pre-season fixture. 

Neither side could find the back of the net in the bout, Mike Ford's side now await their first league fixture back at step three - a trip away to Weymouth on Saturday, August 16. 

The Robins started brightly in the match, but the St Ives stopper did well to deal with two early chances, denying Evesham the opener and clearing the danger. 

Kobe Chong impressed for the visitors in the midfield but could not find that killer pass to send St Ives up before the break.

Early into the second half St Ives came close again. Theo Alexandrou did well, dancing through the Evesham back line, but his effort dribbled just wide of Alex Harris' post. 

Further chances would fall for the visitors, but they couldn't break the deadlock before Evesham came close themselves with 15 minutes to play - volleying an effort over the bar from close in. 

Neither side could get on the scoresheet and find that go-ahead moment, both ending their pre-season campaigns with a stalemate.
