U13 div 4 v Wenty Waratah Loss 7-2
Difficult in windy conditions the game was tight in the first half. Wenty had the wind at their backs and scored twice from many attempts. We scored late in the first half with a well structured attack finished by Tyler. Second half saw 6 goals, another well put together build up finished by Nathan. Our goals were constantly under attack swallowing the ball 5 more times. Despite the score it was universally agreed that keeper Alex was man of the match. His commitment, determination and reflexes kept the deficit from reaching the high teens. Our defensive structure will be a priority at next training. (Paul – Manager)

O35 div 6 v Lidcombe Waratah Draw 2-2
A bit of a see-sawing match with Holroyd going ahead 1-0 midway through the first half and keeping that lead at half time. A good goal scored by Ace for the Rangers. Lidcombe came back strongly then and put in a couple including one from a free kick about 15 yards outside the penalty box courtesy of a free kick. It sailed over our keeper's arms who was temporarily blinded by the sun. Thankfully we got one back to level the score and had a last gasp effort just minutes before time when Ace pulled out his sand wedge and somehow chipped it over the bar from inside the six yard box. But he could be forgiven considering he scored both our goals. A good match played in good spirits! (Match report courtesy of Mr Ali B)

U14 Girls div 1 v Beaumont Hills Loss 1-0

U16 Girls div 2 v Lidcombe Waratah Loss 2-1
An ordinary first half, our girls with few exceptions sat back and did not tackle or challenge for the ball. Lidcombe with a lucky early goal when they chipped it into the wind, Megan was slightly off her line and the ball went over her and under the bar. Their 2nd goal was more from our poor marking - girls, when we leave players with too much space or unmarked in front of goal then they score against us. Adriana with a chance late in the half when she was given the ball around the 18-yard line but the shot was rushed - make the first touch to set the ball up for your 2nd shot to be a good shot on goal. Second half the girls came out fired up and we were probably the better team. We got back an early goal through some nice passing in the midfield which Sheri finished nicely. We created a few more half chances but could not convert anything. The pleasing thing was how much better our tackling and defensive effort was in the 2nd half, not letting Lidcombe control the ball at all. Give the passes a little earlier and don't wait until they shut down your passing options. Good play in midfield from Natasha and Kacey, and some nice runs from Sarah P. DJ earned player of the match with her constant running and tackling in the backs, even pushing up occasionally to support the mids and strikers.

All Age Ladies div 4 v Pendle Hill Black Won 7-3
An awesome game from the ladies. With their confidence a bit battered from the previous weeks loss and with only 10 players they played to win from the kickoff. The first goal in 15 seconds was a great start with Vanessa and Nicole putting together some spot on passes enabling Lisa to neatly slot in the goal. Good passing was the key to scoring further goals. The midfielders and defenders worked extra hard to keep the ball forward. A free kick late in the first half saw Claire crack the ball from distance, hit the cross bar and bounce in just behind the line to cement our score. As usual, Crystal's long distance throw-ins kept the pressure on Pendle Hill. With 10 players we got a bit tired in the second half and Pendle Hill scored 3 goals but with 15 mins to go Rangers scored another goal to make it 7 and kept the opposition to 3 goals. Keep up the good work ladies.
