Rangers 5 The Griswalds 2
Piggy brings home the bacon!
Well. After the doom and gloom of the 1st game of the new campaign, Rangers ended the 3rd week with two wins on the board. This week’s opposition were The Griswalds, who always provided a good game. They had gotten the better of us on two occasions last season, but Rangers went in confident after last week’s victory. There were two changes to the team from last week, Hedderz and Rascle replacing Lifey and Dr. Holland (Patch) who were unable to play due to work commitments.
It was an early KO, and on the usual pitch the game got underway. The two sides were amazingly evenly matched, but it was the Griswalds who took the lead, the striker stabbing home after a tussle with Mini.
The game was low scoring and it was a little while before any more goalmouth action. The equaliser eventually came when a well-worked free kick by Pie gave Justin the chance to open his account for the season, which he did assuredly, slotting in across the face of the goal.
Rangers took the lead too, right at the end of the half, Piggy grabbing his first goal of the evening, which started a superb game for the much-criticised striker. He was raising the bar for his own performances, really building on last week. The finish was sublime, turning the defender, and crashing home a shot from wide right into the top left corner.
A low scoring game, Rangers defended well until half time, holding the 2-1 lead at the break. Mini was battered and bruised after being hacked down a few times, twice whilst bearing down on goal. But spirits were high as the Rangers sensed something special.
Second half was even better for the Rangers, solid defending from Rascle and Shiz, and good up and down work from Pie and Hedderz limited the chances for The Griswalds. When the chances did come Belly was more than equal to the task pulling of great saves and double saves, but we have become accustomed to that really! More of formability!
Mini and Piggy linked well too, and Mini notched up his two for the game, one after a great defence splitting through ball from Zinadine Zi….Rascle!!! Piggy also, grabbed his second goal, capping what could be said was the MOTM performance!! Bring it home Piggy, bring it home!
The distractions of the homosexual chanting of “Come on Grissas!!!” and “Slip it behind big man” were not enough to psychologically damage the Rangers, who deservedly picked up a 5-2 win in the end, and will want to build on that for next weeks game versus Cheadle Utd.
Final Score: Rangers 5 The Griswalds 2
Goals: Mini (2), Piggy (2), (Hedderz (1)

Good report.
Just want to say congratulations everyone - it was a great performance.
Special mention from me goes to Belly (some fantastic saves again, though as Mini said we are coming to expect it now!) and Piggy (who probably had his best game in a Rangers shirt!).
Yes, everyone had a great game and I was very impressed with everyones fitness and the effor they put in considering the heat!
