Match Report
Gunners earned a comfortable win against RAS Rovers with their best performance of the season.
Gunners were well motivated for the game and started well looking a yard quicker to the ball than their opponents. The softer ground also helped Gunners play the ball on the ground and soon the team were dominating possession.
The opening goal came from a corner by Steve Tranter which was headed in by Marcus Randles.
Gunners made it two when Bill Maslin headed in a cross from Neil Oldcorn and then a third goal came before half time again through Marcus Randles.
Dave Owen playing in an unaccustomed goal keeping role had very little to do in the first half and wasn't required to make a save.
The half time score was 3-0 although it could easily have been 6-0 with Gunners missing three straightforward chances in front of goal.
In the second half, Paul Stout gave Gunners a further lead when he scored with a well struck volley from 20 yards out.
Despite RAS pulling a consolation goal back, Gunners killed of the game when Bill Maslin added a further two goals one of which came from a fine run and cross from Steve Tranter.
The final result was a 6-1 win to Gunners and easily their best performance of the season. The team battled well in all areas of the field and RAS had difficulty coping with Gunners counter-attacked quickly.
Bill Maslin was Gunners "Man of the Match" for a good three goal display.
