trickery down the wing from Craig Feeney.
Ten minutes later and Totton were 2-0 up, Silvano Obeng with the header.
Aaron Basford pulled one back for the visitors on the hour mark, but Evesham were unable to find the all-important equaliser and Feeney scored at the death to wrap up an important victory for the hosts who now sit five points above bottom in 18th.
Sean Downing scored twice as a second-half surge from Bideford saw them take all three points from their clash with
Cirencester Town.
The game looked destined for a goalless draw before Smallcombe broke the deadlock in the 75th minute, lashing home from six yards.
The visitors almost replied within five minutes when Malshanskyj reacted to a parry from Kingston only to send his shot over the bar.
Downing struck twice in the final ten minutes to wrap up the win.
