Gunners lost their third lead game in a row against league leaders Palmer FC.
A tough game was expected from the league leaders and Palmer started the brighter of the sides with some good breaks down the wings and had a couple of early chances.
Palmer FC took the lead when Gunners failed to clear a loose ball and they scored with a shot from the edge of the box.
However, Gunners fought back and managed to equalise in the first half to leave the half time score at 1-1.
In the second half, Gunners were punished for not defending well from corners and Palmer added three goals from corners or free kicks into the box.
Palmer also added a fifth goal when they scored from a long range effort from the touchline which flew in over the keeper.
Gunners did keep plugging away and were rewarded with a consolation goal after some neat interplay between Lee Bonnici who fed Carl Littlechild and he crossed the ball for Paul Clark to score from close range.
Palmer were clear victors on the day and Gunners really need to think about how they are going to defend more effectively from corners, which has been a particular weakness this year.
However, Gunners did give plenty more effort during the game which was more encouraging.
Gunners "Man of the Match" was Dave Owen who worked hard in the middle of midfield.
