Slim Jims 10 Rangers 5
Old Rivals Clash!!
A hard fought game, with two passionate teams ended in defeat for the Rangers against their old enemies. Rangers had a depleted squad, with injury victims Hedderz and Rascle not making the journey to Powerleague. There was however, encouraging news, with Mr T making a long awaited comeback, and we could all see he was eager!!
A strong ref was needed for this and we were fortunate to get a decent one, who let the game flow and was quick to warn players about their strong arm tactics.
Rangers, as usual started the game brightly, rushing into a 2-0 lead with goals from Shiz and Mini. Then as usual the Rangers started to get overconfident and weary, especially with only the one sub.
Slim Jims fought back, and finished for half time at 4-3 to the Jims. Rangers had reason to be happy though as they had caused the leagues second team many problems. The second half saw the Slim Jims extend their lead in a mad few minutes for Rangers with poor defending and failing to keep the ball. Belly just couldn’t withstand the onslaught and Rangers conceded several sloppy goals. Shiz was unfortunate to conceded a pen after momentum carried him into the area, and Belly’s Dudek legs failed him!!
A 10 minute spell saw J dumped on his ass 3-4 times and which was the only sore point of a hotly but fairly contested game. For the most the Rangers gave as good as they got. Piggy can now enter the injury hall of fame, with the broken wrist, rib, toe and calf as he was caught by a flying head butt (his words) which led to a ferocious nosebleed! This forced the Rangers to finish the last 10 mins with no subs. Rangers did gain a couple more consolation goals, Shiz climbing the scoring charts with his second of the game and Mini evening out the pen count, slotting in the corner after a SJ player had encroached.
All in all, a much more enjoyable game than previous encounters with the Jims, and one that under the circumstances the Rangers can be proud of.
Final score - Slim Jims 10 Rangers 5.
Goals: Shiz - 2, Mini – 3(1pen)
