THE overnight snow and frost impacted on the Ambassador Evesham League fixture schedule.

But a few pitches were playable and some teams delayed their kick-off to allow for the frost to depart.

In the Under-18s Division, it was the proverbial game of two halves at Crowle Searchers.

The table-topping hosts raced into a two-goal lead against Welford Juniors through Matt Mitchell and Iosac Nelson.

But Welford pulled a second-half goal back through David Fawcett, who was then set up by Edward Gough for the equaliser in the last minute.

Alcester Town continued their Under-16s Division title challenge as they won 7-4 at home to Crowle Searchers.

Dylan Parker scored four to take him up to 24 goals for the season, while Matthew Hemming (2) and Harvey Pargetter also netted.

Westbury Celtic Tigers sealed a place in the Under-14s Cup semi-finals with a 6-1 win over Wychavon Wanderers.

Louis Watson got a brace with Reiss Hadley, Andy McKeown and Jack Ward also finding the net.

Two goals from Welford Juniors’ Robert Singer were not enough as they lost 6-2 at Shipston Excelsior in the Under-13s Cup.

There was a big Under-11s Cup quarter-final shock as title contenders Claverdon were knocked out 2-1 by Alcester Town Juniors.

Pool ‘C’ leaders Evesham United Robins knocked out Pershore Town from Pool ‘A’ 2-1, thanks to Reagan Martin and Jakub Rykaczewski.

In an all-Pool ‘B’ tie, Welford Juniors won 5-1 at Broadway United Youth through Daniel Lews (2), Josh Hands (2) and Finlay Meuller.

They face Bidford Juniors Bombers, who beat Shipston Excelsior 4-0, in the last four.

Teams are asked to consider swapping venues or moving a match onto an artificial surface this weekend as the backlog of fixtures grows.
