Saints 4 Gunners 1

Week 3 - Gateway United collected another 3 points on the young season defeating the Founders Cup rival Gunners 4-1. "This is a great win. The Gunners have been a major opponent in the past and getting a win in this part of the schedule is very satisfying." said the Saints owner. The game winner came from newly signed free agent David Estrada. "He is a nice surprise and had to jump on the potential that he has." The Saints will have one more week without Donovan and Beckham. "Winning without 2 DP's is the major headline in this match. The clubs that win BSL trophies are the ones that have roll players that contribute in the boxscore."
