GOAL

Keogh. Assist: Crawford. Keogh doubles his tally for the season with a crisply struck volley following Crawford’s measured cross.  

60

RED CARD

Ewell’s task is theoretically made easier after a cynical trip on the half way line results in a Frenchies defender collecting a second booking.

70

BOOKING

Clancy. Not for the first (or last) time, Clancy enters the book for dissent.

85

BOOKING

Ahmad. The forward’s trip sees him enter the book.

The verdict:
 
A dogged display from a 12 man squad proved enough for Ewell as they continued to maintain their early season momentum. Despite looking assured early on, Ewell struggled when their opponents were reduced to 10 men, yet they restricted them to feeding of scraps and the result never really looked in doubt.
