Eversley manager Matty Angell said: “Reflecting on yesterday’s game and we just didn’t turn up at all, the desire and work rate needed which is the starting point just wasn’t there and apologies for all those that came to the game as that wasn’t acceptable at all. Lots of time on the training field to make it right.”
