The two relegation battles that followed were equally exciting. Ewarton showed some impressive attacking prowess on the magical home turf of Brighton, with Dugoli giving the visitors the lead in the first minute, and then scoring consecutively on the back of sharp counter-attacks, with Dugoli breaking through again in the 28th minute and McNeil's 76th-minute goal making the score 4-0.Despite Brighton pulling a goal back in the 79th minute from Alex McAleese, an extra-time goal made it a 5-1 win for Ewarton. 1 win.
