| Match Summary | Storey slots in a late penalty to settle a niggling affair. Piper nets from Jennings’ corner, but George’s fizzing shot and Simpson’s close-range effort put the Gunners on top. Ley’s half-hit shot levels it before the finale which also sees Bromley sent off later on for alleged retaliation. |
