Earley Gunners earned a 2 - 2 draw with current league leaders Good Companions. Julian Willis made a welcome return in goal after an injury lay off.
It was Gunners who had the better of the chances in the first half but they could not find the back of the net. Good Companions were fast on the break and played some neat one-two's which caused Gunners some problems.
Good Companions took the lead when they managed to ride a tackle on the edge of the box and take a shot which came off the post and they scored from the rebound.
They doubled their lead a few minutes later when they again caught Gunners on the break and scored with a shot from just inside the box.
The half time score was a 2-0 to Good Companions.
Paul Ali had an early chance to add a goal when his mazy run took him into the box but his shot which went wide. However continued to fight back and added a goal through Ian Thornhill after a ball had been played through the midfield.
The rest of the game saw a few chances created at both ends but Gunners failed to play much neat flowing football and were reduced to looking for a long ball to chase on most occasions.
Dave Owen was unlucky not to level the score after he volleyed a Paul Clark cross just wide but he made amends with five minutes to go when he rifled home a ferocious shot from the edge of the box to make the final score 2-2.
