Preview:
 
After a rare weekend off following their semi-final showing, a revitalised Ewell returned to league duties in what would be their third league outing of the season against Crescent Rovers!
 
The Match:
 

18

CHANCE

Hitch fires a cross/shot back across the face of goal following a corner, but Davies is unable to divert it goalwards at the back post.

36

CHANCE

Williams almost ends the drought of all goal droughts as his wind assisted clearance from the half way line bounces fractionally wide.

40

CHANCE

The ball breaks promisingly for Hitch, although he is unable to fire off a shot from the edge of the box.

HALF TIME – Crescent Rovers ‘A’ 0 vs AFC Ewell 0

60

NEAR MISS

Deputising keeper, Bunde, pulls off a smart save and holds well after a rare effort on goal from the hosts.   

78

CHANCE

Controversy. Clancy surges beyond the home team’s backline, coolly rounds the keeper and prods the ball home. However, the referee then overrules the goal following a late offside flag, despite initially ignoring it.

 
The verdict:
 
Ewell never got going in the blustering wind and difficult conditions, but briefly thought that they’d done enough to claim the points. Ultimately, they will have to wait until the end of the season before they will be able to establish whether this was a case of one point gained or two points dropped.
