Admission at Evesham on Saturday is pay on the gate at £10 adults and £7 concessions.

It’s an early kick off at 12:30pm so get there in good time.

Job done then, 2 in 2 for young Tolley as well which is promising. Following the game on a bookmakers website, it statistically looked convincing and controlled, look forward to takes of those who were there

I really enjoyed that. Nice ground and a bit of a chat with an Evesham fan.

Harriers were quite clearly the better and fitter side. One of those games where the body shapes are different on each side - understandable given the league gap.

FIRST HALF

Jack Tolley played very well down the left wing. Menacing and direct. Could be putting himself above Jaiden White in the pecking order. JW was very neat again, but his final ball wasn't great.

Sam Austic picked up from where he left off last season - in an attacking midfield role. He's so dangerous there as he seems to be able to pick his spot if given time to shoot centrally. Wonderful goal.

Carrington looks a useful signing in the 8 role, which Cliff Moyo played second half. Carrington was neat and tidy and was always asking for the ball. Obviously a confident and experience player.

AMS finished his goal well.

Trialist at number 5 alongside Keith Lowe. Had very little actual defending to do, but looked strong and passed confidently.

SECOND HALF

Penalty immediately given. I missed the foul. Hemmo scored and played pretty well second half. There were a few ooh and ahh moments from him and Omari Sterling as they did little beats of neat skill throughout the half.

Moyo as capable and dependable as ever in the 8.

Ethan lost his rag and there was a scuffle. Couldn't really tell who was in the wrong and the intense heat probably didn't help. It didn't help his game though as he missed a couple of chances to jeers from the Evesham fans. Russ and/or Jimmy were trying to calm him down a bit from the sidelines. [Just heard that Ethan won the pen - I missed that!]

It was great to see the first team in action and they dominated the game, with the caveat that Evesham were no great shakes looking a bit green and a bit unfit.

Cracking goal by Sam!

Strange decision by the ref for the pen, but as he hadn't moved off the half-way line, maybe he didn't have the best view!

[Harry Aire]

Can someone tell me about Tolley. Is he an academy lad?

Many thanks

[PIRATE OF ZARAGOZA]

Can someone tell me about Tolley. Is he an academy lad?

Was in Harriers U19s but I think now in U23s, made the bench last season in our FA Cup loss at Alvechurch

Tolley previously with Derby

[Delph Harrier]

Does anyone know if the stadium will be opened to roam around this evening like at other pre season friendly games in seasons past?

[Sheffield Harrier]

Given there are strict ticketing rules and folk have bought tickets for particular stands I would doubt it.
Cheltenham will bring a few, it'll be segregated too.

[Delph Harrier]

Got a North terrace ticket easily enough.
No purchasing available after 5.00pm according to the site.

Still think this ticketing system will have a negative effect on the gates next season as anyone making their minds up to attend ' on spec ' maybe put off.

Very much looking forward to getting back in the groove!!

i get the cashless point etc on previous thread but agree, why cant there be further entry to those who turn up on spec i.e last minute they decide to go? bizarre.
