Earley Gunners cruised to another comfortable 8-0 victory over mid-table Moderation. Gunners started brightly and had a few early chances to score before Kevin Rapley gave the team the lead after he flicked the ball over his head and volleyed home from close range.
Two more goals followed for Gunners in the first half through Paul Clark and Chris Price whose well timed run and shot earned him his first goal for the club.
Gunners were 3-0 up at half-time and were reasonably comfortable although they did have chances to add a few more goals.
Moderation came out and attacked more in the second half and Gunners were put under some pressure for the first 10-15 minutes with the team finding it difficult to retain possession.
However the Moderation offensive forays rarely resulted in any chances being created thanks to some better defensive work and soon Gunners began to dominate the game again. Further goals were then added from Kevin Rapley (3), Phil Byrne and Dave Owen.
Chris Price had a couple of glorious opportunities to increase his tally of goals after some great surging runs but the chances were not taken. The final result was an 8-0 win.
Kevin Rapley and Chris Price had good games but "Man of the Match" went to Paul Clark.
