58

CHANCE

A quick throw-in allows Harley to advance into the area and fire off a shot, unfortunately for Ewell it drifts agonisingly wide.   

70

GOAL

Allen. Assist: Hitch. Allen makes an immediate impact from the bench as he races clear of the visitors’ backline and deftly lobs the ball over the onrushing keeper.

84

GOAL

Ewell’s afternoon becomes a little bit more uncomfortable as successfully converted penalty halves their lead, after Kingshott is adjudged to have felled his man in the area.

FULL TIME – AFC Ewell 2 vs Raynes Park Vale ‘A’ 1

 
The verdict:
 
Considering that Ewell entered the game with another beleaguered squad and no recognisable goalkeeper, claiming all 3 points marked a fantastic achievement. The boisterous wind made playing football incredibly difficult, but Ewell demonstrated a steel and determination that perhaps had been lacking in recent weeks.
