A Brief History of Evesham United
Formed in 1945, Evesham United spent the majority of their first forty competitive years in the Worcestershire Combination League (later renamed the Midland Combination League) where they were champions on six occasions. In 1992/93 Evesham joined the Southern League Midland Division where they played until winning promotion to the Premier Division in 2005 before being relegated after one season. In 2008/09 Evesham were crowned champions of Division One Midland Division and spent a further four years at Premier Division level but were relegated to Division One South & West in 2012. 2016/17 marks Evesham's 25th season as a Southern League club. Like ourselves and Bridgwater Town, Evesham are nicknamed "The Robins".
