Gunners were unlucky not to get a point against league favourites Stevie B’s.
Gunners started the game well and despite Stevie B’s having a few wayward shots early on it was Gunners who took the lead when Peter Ali fed Richard Alderton who scored with the outside of his right foot.
Stevie B’s put Gunners under some pressure but Andy Birch came out well on a couple of occasions to clear the ball. Gunners then lost Paul Ali shortly before half time to injury.
However, Stevie B’s managed to equalise before half time when they squeezed a shot in from a tight angle.
In the second half, Gunners again took the lead when Lee Bonnici was fouled in the box and Dave Owen converted the penalty.
Matt Rees then retired from the game due to an injury and with Gunners having no further subs the team was reduced to 10 men for the last 30 minutes.
The team worked very hard and were put under a great deal of pressure and held out until the last ten minutes before they eventually conceded a goal.
However, after Stevie B’s scored one goal they continued to press their advantage and then added two further late goals to seal the win. The final result was a 4-2 win.
Gunners "Man of the Match" was Marcus Randles for a very good display although credit must be given to the whole team for the effort shown today.
