The verdict:
Ewell failed to find the net for the first time since the final game of last season in their stalemate with Norbiton, who are proving to be something of a bogey team for them. Once again, Ewell created the opportunities to take home the points, but it became clear when Chipperton slammed the ball into Clancy’s face that it wasn’t their day.
