Watford Sunday League: Leaders North Watford draw with Evergreen

Premier Division

League leaders and two-time defending champions North Watford dropped points for the second time this campaign as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Evergreen.

North Watford took an early lead through Gurkan Gokman after some neat passing saw him fire home with a low driven shot from the edge of the box.

Evergreen soon equalised when Jake Sahota scored with a volley from 18 yards, and the same player then spurned a golden chance to give his team the lead by missing a penalty.

North Watford went ahead for a second time in the second half when Lee Armitt struck home.

They then wasted several good chances to put the game beyond Evergreen, who battled on and equalised with the last kick of the game after a corner was headed on by Olly Cripps for Ben Tate to scramble the ball over the line.
