Earley Gunners suffered their first league defeat at the hands of CS Taxes who got their revenge for their earlier defeat in the season to throw theleague title race wide open.
The windy conditions made it difficult for both teams to play football although Gunners had the benefit of the wind in the first half and got off to a goodstart with a goal from Nick Burrows who headed in from close range.
Nick was again involved in the action a short while later when his long range effort hit the cross bar and fell into the path of Ian Thornhill who scored from close range.
Dave Owen was unlucky not to make it 3—0 when he was judged to have fouled an opposing player after he had put the ball into the back of the net.At half time Gunners were 2—0 up.
In the second half, Gunners were dreadful and conceded five goals through defensive errors and not being able to cope with high balls into the box. The team were also unable to create any meaningful chances up front.
Dave Owen did give the team some hope when he scored to make it 3-2 to the Gunners but CS Taxes threw men forward and got their reward when theyadded the goals they needed to win the game including a late penalty.
The final result was a 3—5 defeat and a poor performance all round.
