The Match:

8

CHANCE

Glorious opportunity spurned by the visiting side. Neat interplay frees Clancy who, despite taking his time, conspires to fire the ball straight into the keeper’s hands.

15

GOAL

Clancy – Assist: Chipperton. Clancy makes amends for his earlier miss as he races towards the goal and keeps his composure to send the visitors in front.

20

CHANCE

Chipperton overlaps down the right flank and his inviting cross grazes Bullock’s head at the back post. Inches away from making it 2-0.

27

NEAR MISS

A collective sigh of relief as Ransom is beaten to the ball and the resulting lofted effort is hacked clear.

35

GOAL

Clancy – Assist: Chipperton. Aggressive pressing from Ewell leads to them retrieving the ball in a dangerous area. Clancy is threaded through and calmly checks back onto his left foot before slotting home.

40

CHANCE

Williams A. strides forward into unfamiliar territory and lets rip. His well struck shot has the keeper worried but narrowly misses the target.

HALF TIME – Trinity Reserves 0 – AFC Ewell 2

50

GOAL

A slow start to the second half proves costly as Trinity claw themselves back into the encounter with a swift breakaway goal.

GOAL

Clancy. Assist: Chipperton. Ewell restore their two goal lead as Clancy completes his hat-trick by tucking home on the half volley following a free kick he won.

64

CHANCE

Sear gallops down the right wing and drives in a cross for Bullock, whose header is repelled by the keeper at close range.

66

BOOKING

‘Another comment from Number 20’ sees Williams N. enter the referee’s book for dissent.

68

GOAL

Stevens. Assist: Webster. Ewell’s profitable forays down the right continue as Webster’s pinpoint back post cross is met by a crisp Stevens side footed volley.

74

CHANCE

Another close shave as Sear drills in a fierce cross / shot which marginally misses the target.

80

CHANCE

Hodge beats a couple of men with a mazy dribble and enters the Trinity box. However, he bends his effort into the keeper’s hands.

FULL TIME – Trinity Reserves 1 – AFC Ewell 4

The verdict:
Ewell put in another polished performance as they signed off from league duties for a fortnight. They carved Trinity open time after time and could have extended the lead further if the quality of the final pass or finish was better. The victory ensures that they will remain perched in the upper echelons of the table as the title chase has now begun in earnest.
