Half-time at the Avenue, where Dorchester lead thanks to Joe Parker's 33rd-minute goal.

Up to then, Evesham had been the better side and it's still all to play for in the second half.

Dorchester with the first chance to create an opening in this game but stand-in skipper Lee Hodson's free-kick is easily dealt with.
