Earley Gunners vs Good Companions 2 - 2

Match Report

Gunners earned a 2-2 draw with Good Companions.

Gunners started the game well and took an early lead when Peter Ali charged down a ball which Marcus Randles fired home from close range.

Goodies nearly equalised when they hit the bar and the resulting ball was cleared. At the other end of the field Gunners created a couple of chances but could not add to their lead.

However Goodies equalised late in the half when they were allowed to shoot from inside the box and the shot went in off the post.

There was an altercation between Paul Stout and his opposing number which resulted in Paul getting booked.

In the second half Gunners took the lead when Paul Marten crossed for Steve Smith to finish with a half volley from close range.

However, Goodies had the better of the second half and started to play some better passing football. They eventually equalised when a through ball was played and the Goodies forward out-muscled the Gunners defender to score from close range.

At that point, there were a few dangerous moments in each box but neither team really looked like they were going to win and the final result was a 2-2 draw which was a fair result.

Gunners "Man of the Match" was Marcus Randles for a hard working display.
