Gunners went one better than the previous game by conceding seven goals to Bulmershe in a cup encounter. However, the final score flattered Bulmershe.
Despite a scrappy first half lacking much passing football, Gunners created a number of clear cut chances including efforts from Bill and Jon who were both unable to hit the target.
Gunners were then caught at the back when a long ball was not attacked and this was subsequently flicked on and the onrushing forward comfortably lobbed the keeper.
Bulmershe then capitalised on some slack defending and made it 2 - 0 before half time.
Gunners did have some success in breaking through the Bulmershe defence with balls through the middle and also created a number of chances when they pressured the Bulmershe defence into making a mistake. However, Gunners lacked the quality to finish from these positions and the half time score was 2-0.
In the second half Bulmershe made it 3-0 with a goal from a corner before Steve Tranter hit back with two goals. The first was a powerful strike from inside the box which was still rising as it hit the back of the net whilst the second was slightly fortuitous as it ran between the keepers legs.
As soon as Gunners thought they had clawed their way back into the game, Bulmershe added two more goals before Lee Gallagher scored his first for the club from close range.
Bulmershe added two late goals including the last one which saw a valuable contribution from Jaap towards the goal!
The final score was a disappointing 7-3 defeat and Gunners will have to defend much better in the upcoming league fixtures.
Gunners "Man of the Match" was Matt Rees.
