North Leigh midfielder Callum McNish was denied a late winner by the width of a post in a four-goal thriller at Evesham United.

With seconds remaining and the sides locked at 2-2, McNish thought he had got the clincher when his shot beat the keeper Kevin Sawyer only to hit a post.

North Leigh were quickly out of the blocks and should have gone ahead on 13 minutes when Morgan Williams broke clear and drew keeper Kevin Sawyer, only to shoot wide.

The Millers went ahead on 18 minnutes. Conor Ingram was fouled by Will Wellon and Stuart Hole lashed the resulting free-kick past a stunned Sawyer in the home goal.

Williams had a great chance to make it 2-0, but scooped an Aaron Woodley through ball over from three yards.

So it was against the run of play when Evesham levelled two minutes before the break through Aaron Drake header.

The Millers retook the lead, when a mistake from Matt Sysum allowed McNish to clip the ball past Sawyer from five yards.

Evesham upped the pace and equalised when substitute Harry Williams stabbed the ball past Bulman from close range.

The Millers keeper then pulled off two excellent saves as Evesham pushed for another goal.

However, it was the visitors who went closest to snatching a winner, only for McNish’s right foot shot to hit the woodwork before bouncing away to safety.

North Leigh: Bulman, Else, Hopkins, Turk, Westlake, Hole, A Woodley(Bowles 86), McNish, Ingram (Caton 86), Osborne-Ricketts, Williams (Seacole 75). Sub not used: M Woodley.

Attendance: 174.
