EVESHAM and Badsey missed key players as they crashed 8-0 at Gloucester fourths in West Clubs Women's League Severn Division Two. 

The visitors went close to an early goal but were caught short at the back as Gloucester broke to win a short corner and then beat keeper Pip Webster. 

Despite the efforts of E&B, they shipped four more goals by the break.

The Vale side produced a determined second-half display with Webster, Lucy Trevorrow and their player of the match Hannah Davis keeping the score down.

But the players missing due to holidays or sickness and a bouncy pitch contributed to the team's defeat.

E&B visit Shipton Oliffe on Saturday.
