Preview:
 
Hoping to bounce back from a disappointing defeat last time out, Ewell faced an Acts 29 side who were yet to register a point in the league. However, appearances can be deceptive, and it is worth noting they had conceded the same number of goals as the side occupying second place.
 
The Match:
 

3

CHANCE

Crawford is teed up on the edge of the area but his effort is blocked. Chipperton drives the rebound towards goal but his effort is deflected wide.  

19

CHANCE

Keogh’s clever step over leaves him plenty of space to gallop into. Unfortunately for Ewell, the visitors deal with his cross.

24

NEAR MISS

Sloppy Ewell play and the bobbly surface conspire to gift the hosts a promising opportunity, although they fail to capitalise on it.    

29

GOAL

Kingshott slips and allows a seemingly harmless through ball to pass through him and the Acts 29 striker gleefully takes the resulting chance.    

42

GOAL

Chipperton. Assist: Ahmad. Ewell equalise after finally making their aerial dominance tell, as Chipperton rises and plants Ahmad’s deep corner into the back of the net.

HALF TIME – Acts 29 1  - AFC Ewell 1

56

CHANCE

Hitch controls a cross and sends his effort over the bar.  

62

CHANCE

Hitch forces Acts’ second half keeper into action as he stings his palms from close range.

68

BOOKING

Bullock. A cynical trip on the edge of the box earns Bullock a fourth caution of the season.

76

CHANCE

Ahmad rounds the keeper but his resulting effort is cleared off the line.

81

GOAL

Hitch. Assist: Stingemore. Ewell’s frustrations are finally curtailed as Hitch nods home Stingemore’s in-swinging corner.

85

CHANCE

Stingemore has the opportunity to kill off Acts’ hopes of a comeback but he steers his shot wide of the target.

FULL TIME – Acts 29 1 - AFC Ewell 2

 
The verdict:
 
Ewell banked a valuable three points off the back of their defeat against Merton Social. An early 6 pointer awaits next week as Ewell will lock horns with fellow highflyers AMY FC.
