Arborfield vs Earley Gunners 1 - 3

Match Report

Gunners ended the season with a 3-1 away win over lowly Arborfield.

Arborfield started the better of the two teams and began to attack well down the left hand side of a very wide pitch. Arborfield gave Gunners a scare when they thought they had scored from a corner but the referee disallowed this effort for a push on the keeper.

However, Arborfield did take the lead a short while later when Gunners fumbled a tame shot and Arborfield scored from close range.

However, Gunners equalised before half time when Dave Owens free kick was headed in by an Arborfield player.

In the second half Gunners dominated possession and began to pass the ball around with a bit more fluidity. However, Gunners failed to really play a decent last ball which meant chances were few and far between.

However, Gunners took the lead when Lee Bonnici crossed the ball to Richard Aldertons whose attempt on goal fell to Marcus who scored from close range.

Gunners then secured the points in the last minute when a Peter Ali intercepted a loose ball by the keeper who was well outside his goal and Peter lobbed the ball over the keeper from distance.

Good Companions vs Earley Gunners 2 - 1

Match Report

Gunners lost out in mid table encounter against Good Companions.

Gunners made a very good start and immediately put the opposition under some pressure in the first few minutes.

However, Goodies soaked up the early pressure and then looked the team most likely to score when a header went just over the bar and they again come close when Julian Willis came out of his box to clear a ball.

Gunners created few chances in the first half and the half time score was 0 - 0.

In the second half, Goodies opened the scoring early on when there was a defensive mixup which allowed Goodies a free shot on goal.

However, Gunners struck back when Marcus Randles played Peter Ali through who scored with a well struck shot.

Gunners really failed to a grip of the game and there was little passing football played. Gunners had very few chances apart from a couple of wayward free kicks.

Unfortunately, it was Goodies who struck late on to earn themselves a slender lead and despite some last minute pressure when Julian even came up for a corner in the last minute, Gunners failed to find the net and eventually ended up 2 - 1 losers.
