Gunners continued their recent run of form with a 4-2 win against Wokingham and Emmbrook.
Gunners started the brighter of the teams for the first ten minutes but Wokingham soon got back into the game and put Gunners under some pressure.
However Gunners did open the scoring through a break-away goal from Steve Tranter. A corner at Gunners end was cleared upfield and Steve beat the opposing defence to take the lead.
Wokingham equalised a few minutes later when a cross from the right was volleyed home from inside the box.
Marcus also had a great chance to score in the first half when his shot went over the bar.
The half time score was 1-1.
Gunners made a poor start to the second half when Paul Ali failed to clear a ball in defence and the opponent broke through to score from close range.
However Paul Stout levelled the scores with his fourth goal of the season to make it 2-2. Wokingham then put Gunners under a period of pressure when they forced a number of corners although Duncan attacked the ball well from a number of these to keep them at bay.
Wokingham had two good chances to take the lead, the first was a close range shot which was well saved by Duncan.
Paul Marten was introduced into the team mid way through the second half and nearly scored with his first touch when his shot from a corner was tipped over the bar. Paul Marten also made a last ditch tackle in the penalty box when the opponent appeared clean through on goal to save another shot.
Gunners did take the lead when Peter Ali superbly jinked past a number of players before setting up Steve Tranter for the goal.
Steve nearly completed his hat-trick when he burst through the opponents defence and hit a powerful shot which cannoned back out from the bar. However he did find the mark moments later with another goal to eventually complete his hat-trick.
The final score was a 4-2 win for Gunners and whilst it had not been the best display, Gunners battled well to earn the win. Paul Stout was Gunners "Man of the Match".
