FULL TIME (AET) - AFC Ewell 3 – Chessington KC Reserves 3

Ransom, Cooper and Clancy convert their spot kicks. However, Chipperton and Bullock have their efforts saved whilst N. Williams fires wide and Bunde’s effort strikes the crossbar.

The verdict:
Despite crashing out of the cup, Ewell could be satisfied with their efforts as the lottery of penalties was required in order to settle the tie. After leading 3 times, perhaps they ought to have seen out the game in normal time or extra time, but they can be proud of their efforts nevertheless.
