Gunners started 2005 with a 5 - 1 win against Ruscombe.
Gunners started the game well and immediately put Ruscombe under some pressure but could not convert their chances into goal. Ruscombe then came back into the game and took the lead midway through the first half.
However, Richard Alderton equalised for Gunners at the second attempt when his shot rebounded of the post and he finished from close range.
Bill Maslin then gave Gunners the lead when Marcus Randles high cross was superbly volleyed home.
The half time score was 2-1 to Gunners.
In the second half Gunners controlled the game well and had the advantage of the wind. Paul Stout added a goal early on when he was played through by Bill Maslin and sent his shot looping over the keeper.
Gunners then made the game safe after a neat move saw Matt Rees play Bill Maslin in for this second of the game.
Ruscombe had little to offer in the second half and stand in keeper Iain Peer had little to do.
Gunners last goal came late on when Dave Owen volleyed the ball home superbly from just outside the box to wrap up a comfortable win.
The final score was 5-1 and a performance where Gunners finishing was first class (we don't say that too often!)
