EVESHAM spent the opening ten minutes passing the ball to their opponents and were lucky not to see their impressive record of not having conceded a goal in 422 - 467 minutes if you include last weekend's abandoned game at Brackley - surrendered.

Nathan Vaughan flapped at a ninth minute Cambridge corner and was relieved to see Lee Chaffey's far post header flash wide.

Two minutes later and the United keeper showed his better side with a full length stop to keep out a 20-yarder from Robbie Nightingale.

Danny Lennon forced Evesham's first corner after 15 minutes but Simon Fitter's kick came to nothing.
