Earley Gunners vs Good Companions 1 - 1

Match Report

Gunners earned a draw in a disappointing performance against Good Companions.
The windy conditions did not make the game easy to play in and as a result the ball spent most of the time in the air, to be fair Gunners never really settled into the match and failed to play any football for the entire game.


Gunners had a couple of early have chances the closest of which came when Dave Owen headed onto the bar, at the other end Goodies did have some attacks put failed to create many shots on goal.

The defence looked reasonably solid in the first half but the team really failed to get control of the ball and pass it around which hampered any offensive opportunities. The half time score was 0 - 0.

In the second half Goodies were the stronger side and took the lead when a cross came in from their right wing and the Goodies player rose unopposed to head in from close range.

The opposition could have doubled the lead when they had a couple of half chances in the box, but the Gunners defence managed to get the ball clear.

However Stuart Bye levelled the scores after a tactical switch saw him move up front to give Gunners a point. Gunners "Man of the Match" was also Stuart Bye.
