DANNY Hodnett committed the first foul of the second half after Joe Clarke almost got in behind the Hitchin defence after Troy Wood's lovely through ball.

The visitors made a change at half-time as they sought the goal to get them back into a game in which they were distinctly inferior in the opening 45 minutes.

And the change seemed to work for Town who opened up the Evesham rearguard after 54 minutes only for Paul Barnes to shoot straight at Nathan Vaughan.
