Robins on course for record run

2 Dec 2016 By David Watters

Evesham United are looking forward to setting a new club record in the EVO-STIK League Southern at Taunton Town on Saturday.

After matching the club's 1967-68 season record of winning 11 matches in a row in the Worcestershire League, the Robins can go one better on Saturday against the Peacocks at The Viridor Stadium after recording victories in all their league outings since September 17.

Paul Collicutt's men missed out on the chance rewrite the club's history books in their pursuit of EVO-STIK League Southern South & West leaders Hereford FC on Tuesday night when their fixture at Didcot Town fell victim to the midweek freeze.

Collicutt, whose second placed side beat Salisbury 3-2 at their Spiers and Hartwell Jubilee Stadium last Saturday to keep pace with the leaders, said: "We won 10 in a row at the end of the 2014-15 season but this is the club's best run at Southern League level, certainly."

Evesham, eight points off the top, still have to play the Bulls home and away.
