Gunners avenged last seasons embarrassing defeats with a thumping 6-0 win over lowly RBC Unison.
Phil Norton gave Gunners a good start when he opened the scoring after a pass from Jide and he came close on another occasion when he hit the post.Gunners were guilty of missing several chances and should have put the RBC keeper (who was in shaky form) under more pressure.
However, Stephen Tranter then made it two with a superb shot from outside the box before Bill Maslin added a further goal to give Gunners a comfortable lead. (assists from Matt & Carlton)
At the other end of the field, RBC created very little pressure and Andy hardly had a shot to save in the first half. Gunners made it four before half time when Paul Ali played Steve Tranter in who scored from a shot at the near post which the keeper allowed to squirm into the net. At half time Gunners had dominated and held a 4 - 0 lead.
In the second half it was again one way traffic although Gunners failed to score in the first twenty minutes of this half.
However, Gunners increased the pressure and had a couple of chances cleared off the line.
Eventually, Gunners scored a fifth when Paul Ali turned his opponent in this box and crossed the ball with the outside of his right foot to Bill Maslin who headed home from close range.
A few minutes later Gunners added a sixth when Carlton Dickson played a perfect ball to Marcus Randles who slotted the ball home from close range.
Gunners had a few other chances to score when Paul Stout clipped the cross bar and Lee Bonnici and Carlton both came close but no further goals were added and the final score was a handsome 6 - 0 win.
