Wokingham CC vs Earley Gunners 1 - 7

Match Report

Earley Gunners strolled to a comfortable win with a 7-1victory over Bracknell League side Wokingham CC. Nick had an early chance to score when he had a free header on goal but he couldn't quite connect with the ball!

Gunners started well and took a two goal lead through Iain Peer. The first was set up by Nick Burrows who played a through ball to Iain who finished well from inside the box.

Neil Rumbold then set up Iains second goal when he played him through on goal and Iain finished with a delicate chip over the keeper. The Gunners defence was only really troubled in the last ten minutes of the first half when Julian Willis was required to make a good save.

In the second half, Gunners added several more goals. Dave Owen was influential in setting these up with Iain Peer grabbing another 3 and the other goals coming from Leigh Holdway and Neil Rumbold.

The worst miss of the game when Iain played a lovely ball to Neil who had an open goal but he side footed his shot onto the post but luckily this fell into Iain's path who finished from close range.

Nick also had a good chance to score when he had a clear shot from inside the box but this went over the bar. Wokingham pulled back a late consolation goal but Gunners had already put the game beyond their reach.

"Men of the Match" went to Iain Peer for a great 5 goal haul and Leigh Holdway for a good game in midfield.
