Rangers 11 Cheadle Utd Thursday 3

Mini sends Rangers weak at the ankles!!

Rangers marched up the league table with a comfortable win this Thursday, over the Division 6 whipping boys Cheadle Utd Thursday. They now sit proudly in 2nd place, not on goal difference, but by 1 whole point, after other results went their way.

The game saw the same team as last week, the conditions were poor, slippery, wet and cold which didn’t allow for pretty football.

Rangers took an early stranglehold on the game, Piggy and Mini scoring in quick succession, and Rangers rotated the subs well to keep fresh. It was after about only 5-10 minutes when Mini was forced off after a very painful turn on his ankle, playing an innocuous ball. A recurrence of the injury he suffered just fewer than 2 months ago that evidently hadn’t fully healed. The right ankle just gave way and put Mini out for the rest of the game. A subsequent trip to A&E confirmed no break, but ligament damage, which means rest for 2 weeks. Frustrating but it could have been worse.

Rangers were not fazed by this injury and went on to win the game comfortably. As I was injured and didn’t really watch most of the game the report from here on will be brief and patchy.

From all accounts Belly had a bit of a mare, fumbling a couple into the net in the wet conditions. Finishing was poor but Hedderz managed to grab a few, about 5 if I remember and Pie also grabbed a couple of decent goals.

And that’s about all I can write up really. If anyone wants to have a better go and put the scorers etc on then feel free, but this is as good as it gets from me.

Final Score: Rangers 11 Cheadle Utd 3
Goals: Mini (1), Hedderz (5?), Pie (2), Piggy (2?), Shiz (1?)

Not only did you not see most of the game, but Shiz didn't actually see his goal either - he had turned away in disgust at what he thought was a poor finish, only for everyone else to watch the ball trickle towards the far post and bonce in off the upright.
