This was the shock result of the season as Gunners failed to beat lowly 10 man Valley Park.
There were a few early scares when Valley took the lead and then Gunners had a (hotly disputed) penalty awarded against them. However, Gunners keeper Julian Willis saved the penalty to keep Gunners in the game.
Gunners managed to equalise through Kevin Rapley and then dominated the rest of the game with Valley Park failing to get into Gunners half of the pitch for the entire second half.
Despite hitting the post, cross bar and having numerous shots saved off the line Gunners couldn't find a way past the Valley keeper and the final result was a 1-1 draw.
Jon Weller was Gunners "Man of the Match".
