PERSHORE Town were sunk 2-1 by Lichfield City in a close Midland Combination Premier Division encounter.

After conceding an early goal, Town equalised late in the first period with a strike from Dane Aldington.

Just before the break, Richard Congrave thought he had given Pershore the advantage, only to see the linesman’s flag deny him.

In the second-half, the hosts restored their lead and held on for victory.

Pershore then lost 2-1 at home to Coventry Copsewood on Tuesday night in front of a crowd of just 39, leaving Gary Aldington's men fourth from bottom without a point.

They are back on the road on Saturday, heading to midtable Stafford Town (3pm).

Meanwhile, relegated Evesham United open their Evo- Stik Southern League Division One South and West campaign on Saturday at home to Sholing (3pm).
