Earley Gunners cruised to a comfortable victory over Cable & Wireless with an 8 - 1 win.
Gunners made a bright start to the game and Nick Burrows got the team off the mark with a great header from a Kevin Rapley cross. Gunners then added three more goals in the first half through Kevin Rapley (2) and Paul Clark.
The team did have plenty of other opportunities to score most notably with Darren Fry failing to convert a driven cross from inside the six yard box and Ian Thornhill squandering a couple of chances.
Cable & Wireless did manage to score a goal before half time after a poor call from the Gunners keeper which he failed to collect allowed their forward to sneak a goal in. The half time score was 4 - 1 to Gunners.
The second half went the same was as the first with Gunners having more possession with Cable & Wireless restricted to odd attacks on the break.Dave Owen added a goal shortly in the first half when Paul Clark after holding the ball up in the opponents box then played a short ball to Dave who banged this home from close range.
Ian Thornhill then got onto the score sheet with a cooly placed shot before Dave Owen added a second with a left foot volley from inside the box.
Paul Clark completed the rout with a right foot volley from long range. Cable & Wireless were restricted to a couple of chances, the closest of which was a lob which just cleared the bar. The last few minutes were a little untidy with Gunners all looking to go forward and the team lost their shape in the defence but the game was all over at this point.
The final result was an 8 - 1 win and a much improved performance than last week.
