The verdict:
A late rally from Ewell proved to be enough to earn them a valuable and much needed 3 points. A lack of clear cut chances at both ends was anomalous given that both teams controlled the ball the well and found themselves in promising positions. However, Ewell remained patient and, buoyed by the reinforcements at their disposal, managed to get themselves over the finishing line.
