Earley Gunners vs Woodley Saints 1 - 3

Match Report

Earley Gunners were overtaken in the league by a rampant Woodley Saints side who beat Gunners 3-1.

Gunners made a very sloppy start and conceded two soft goals in the first 15 minutes to put the team on the back foot straight away.

Gunners did not seem to be able to settle into the game and were constantly hassled by a dominant Saints side.

Gunners did have an opportunity to get back into the game when they were awarded a penalty for handball. Unfortunately Paul Ali put the ball just wide and Gunners were further punished when Saints added a third.

Just before half-time Gunners did manage to pull a goal back, when Dave Owen played Matt Walker through who lobbed the keeper.

The second half was a slightly tighter affair, Gunners did manage not to concede any further goals thanks to a couple of fine saves from Julian. However, Gunners did not fashion any chances at all Woodley Saints eventually ran out comfortable winners.
