Gunners earned a 2-2 draw against Chalfont Park although it should have been a win. Gunners started the better of the teams playing down the slope and had a handful if half chances before Dave Owen played in Paul Stout who finished with his left foot to give Gunners as 1-0 lead.
Matt Rees then came close to making it two when he hit the side netting after a corner. At the other end of the field, Chalfont were restricted to very few chances although they came close when a header hit the bar. Gunners managed to work some positions up front but generally seemed reluctant to have a shot on goal leaving the half time score 1-0 to Gunners.
In the second half, Chalfont came into the game a bit more but relied on long balls forward down the slope. Things were looking even better when Gunners added a second after Paul Stout played Bill Maslin through who lobbed the oncoming keeper.
However, Chalfont struck back midway through the second half when a loose ball was not cleared in the Gunners box and Chalfont prodded the ball home from close range.
With about 10 minutes to go Chalfont scored an undeserved equaliser when a long throw was not challenged effectively and the Chalfont player won the header and flicked the ball in.
Gunners pushed forward but could not create any clear chances of note and the game ended in a draw. It was an improved display for Gunners after last week, but Gunners should have taken all three points. Gunners were guilty of not having enough shots on goals when they had the opportunities and again did not defend a long throw into the box effectively.
Gunners "Man of the Match" was Paul Stout for a good display in midfield.
