Gunners earned a convincing win against high flyers West End.
Gunners got off to a good start to the game and were well in control of the game for the first twenty minutes and took a 2-0 lead through Bill and Steve.
However the last twenty minutes of the first half saw Gunners go off the boil and West End pulled a goal back through a penalty after Peter Ali had fouled an opponent in the box.
West End were unlucky not to be awarded another penalty a few minutes later when Paul Ali brought an opponent down in the box, fortunately the referee waved play on.
Gunners had lost some of their momentum and were guilty of not attacking the long ball which put pressure on the Gunners defence. There were no further goals and the half time score was 2-1 to Gunners.
In the second half, Gunners had the advantage of the slope and the wind and they began to use this to their advantage by putting the opposition defence under severe pressure. The goals soon flowed and Bill added two more goals to make his hat-trick, Dave Owen added one and Carl "The Jackal" Littlechild scored with a scorching shot from just outside the box.
The defence were on top of their game and Andy Birch had relatively few saves to make in the second half. The final score was a convincing 6-1 win which dented West Ends chances of the league title and keeps Gunners in the chasing pack for third place.
