Chalfont took the lead again with another strike from distance before Gunners levelled again through Bill Maslin.
Gunners were also unlucky when they hit the cross bar twice from Bill and Dave and Gunners should have had a penalty when Bill was clearly pushed in the back.

Chalfont had couple of chances to equalise but Duncan made some good saves to prevent them from scoring. At the other end of the field Gunners also created some chances the closest of which was a lob over the keeper which appeared to be going in before Paul Stout cleared it off the line
Gunners eventually held out for a deserved win.
The final score was 5-4 and Bill Maslin was Gunners "Man of the Match" for a hard working display aswell as a couple goals.
