Combe 5, Moreton Rgrs U-13 3
RESPLENDENT in their brand new away kit in white, Sunday turned into a black day for Rangers!
The visitors conceded three goals in the opening 15 minutes as woeful defending left player of the match goalkeeper Max Outteridge exposed and leaving Moreton with a mountain to climb for the remainder of the contest.
They at least managed to win the remainder of the game and, after hitting the crossbar twice, Harry Bates netted to trim the deficit to just two goals at the break.
Again the visitors were caught cold after the kick-off when Combe scored a fourth goal after a bout of non-existent tackling but it was 4-2 soon after when James Hicks produced a fine strike to at least give Rangers a glimmer of hope.
That was soon extinguished when Outteridge was beaten for a fifth time before Hicks netted his second that counted for nothing at the finish.

Moreton Rgrs U-14 3
A COMMITTED and spirited Rangers side shared the spoils on a cold Sunday afternoon.
Although falling two goals behind, Moreton never gave up and, when Sam McPherson ghosted in on the far post to pull one back before he interval, it was game on.
The second half saw Rangers unsettle their opponents. A jinking run and fine through ball from Jack Ashcroft allowed Connor Sherry to hammer home a deserved equaliser.
Moreton were forced to dig deep a third time and when Dan Packer's delightful chip found the back of the net the crowd were treated to a pulsating finale.
When the final whistle came Rangers were in the ascendancy but were unable to penetrate a worried defence one last time.

Rangers' excellent passing play was further rewarded when Tom Benfield fired in his side's third midway through the half.
