Gunners were unlucky not to earn all three points after a 0 - 0 draw with DC Steamers.
The game was fairly even in the first half although Gunners created the better of the chances with the keeper tipping a Paul Ali header over the bar early on and also saving a Matt Rees header.
At the other end of the field, DC Steamers had some possession and played some neat passing football on one or two occasions but did not really penetrate the Gunners defence and Andy Birch had little to do in goal.
DC Steamers had a number of corners but Andy Birch claimed these well. The half time score was 0 - 0.
In the second half, it was another even start with few teams creating many chances. The only early moment of interest was when the referee fell over!
However, Gunners then began to get more into the game and started to create a number of chances. The team had a good 20 minute spell where several chances were created.
Paul Stout broke through from midfield and played the ball across the face of the goal only for the DC Steamers keeper to just reach the ball ahead of the Gunners attacker.
Steve Tranter was unlucky when he hit the bar and the DC Steamers keeper also made a couple of close range savings. Paul Stout also saw a free kick from the edge of the hit the underside of the bar.
DC Steamers best chance came from a free kick outside the box which was saved. As the game moved towards the end Gunners had a late scare when the ball was not cleared from defence properly and the team were guilty of not clearing the ball quickly enough but this did not result in any shots on goal just a few nervous moments.
The final score was a 0 - 0 draw which was slightly disappointing as the team had created chances. Fraser McNaugthon was Gunners "Man of the Match".
