1-3

Another disappointing day for us and now 4 losses on the trot all in games we had chances to win. A great opening half, plenty of good football played through midfield with Adri and polo doing a great job to move the ball around. We created some great chances and eventually went ahead when Ivan and Peter linked up for ivan Tom smash in the opener. We had 2 disallowed first half and rangers had a few breakaways that sharples could’ve finished only for Danielle making a cracking save. Second half was a different story, mistakes gave the ball to Rangers in key areas and got rangers back in the game. Sharples nut megged half the the team to our rangers ahead playing off the left wing and cutting in on his right. Deserved win for rangers after taking their chances second half. Mom polo for us and sharples for TGA

Woke up in second half

Ready to go another big game against formidable Aioli with 13 men plus 1 gaffer and 2 dogs. However, an unfortunate injury happened to Jordan, forced him to come out at 15 mins. Aioli has dominant in the middle and attempted onto Rangers goal much and yet Rangers clear off in first 20 mins, brilliant skills of chip pass and volley shot on from their left side to open a goal, 1-0 down in first half. The fact still we have a plenty time to run our show was mentioned during a team talk at half time, Rangers continued to put an effort with positive manner in second half. One big change made was that Kev goes in nets and Bernd steps up to centre back. Today Sho proved his official back with his appearance of 80 mins play after 5 years of break, attempted scoring from middle range a couple time and in the end his effort in the middle connected to Beatt being 1-on-1 against keeper, his scoring ability created a tying goal 1-1. At the same time Mike kept banging Aioli's defensive line and broke down his favorite opened-space, scoring a clincher in the end!! Two additions from his solid performance made a final score 3-1, and Taishi deserved the man of the match with his untiring efforts at his inexperienced position and shut off a savage attack. Thanks Aioli for fair play.
