The verdict:

A game of two halves saw Ewell demonstrate their attacking potency in the opening period, before having to grind out a result in an attritional second period as the visitors rallied and continued to search for an equaliser. Ewell managed to dig deep and secure what they hope will prove to be a key victory come the end of the season.
