The Evesham Hospital Junior Cup has been competed for since 1912. The final was originally going to be played at Evesham United F.C. but the cup committee were unable to get a booking for the ground, so it was relocated to here in Badsey instead. The ground no longer hosts Saturday football, having been used as a venue for Stratford-upon-Avon Alliance League matches in the past as well as being home to Montpellier F.C. in season 2016/17 in Midland League, Division 3, but I never visited during those days.

At least I had a match with something on it, rather than travelling to a pointless end of season match where this time of year it becomes a lottery as to whether one or both clubs can be bothered to actually turn up and play the match. Both these two clubs had finished in fifth place in their respective divisions of the Midland League, with Inkberrow being in Division 3 and Fairfield in the division above.

It was hard to believe which team were supposedly the higher level one, as it was the lower level side that dominated from start to finish. Two goals in each half were enough for Inkberrow to take the cup and on balance of play and chances, if they had scored another five or six goals, Fairfield could have had no complaints.
