Bramhall Rangers 6 Cheadle Utd Thursday 6

Goals galore, Rangers settle for a draw!!

Well maybe, not galore, but compared to recent weeks it was nice to see the net bulging in the Rangers favour on numerous occasions against Cheadle Utd. The team was somewhat makeshift with a couple of absentees. Dr Holland was still out with his achilles injury, Belly was touring Scotland, and Mini pulled on the keeper gloves and played through injury to allow Gregg (Rascle’s bro) who we were told would give us a really good attacking option (as he usually bagged 5-6 a game daan saaaf where he plays for a team) to play outfield. Hedderz returned for the early kick-off, Mr T, Shiz, Pie and Rascle making up the numbers. It was a relief to have a more attacking look to the side.

Rangers started tentatively, settling into their rhythm. They eventually took a two-goal lead, Hedderz slotting home after a rebound, taking time to steady himself before hitting the net. Piggy then grabbed a lovely goal, Mr T breaking down the left and chipping a ball to the edge of the area for Piggy to guide deftly into the top corner.

Defensively Rangers were good, but there was a considerable amount of time and space given to CUT’s most dangerous player who was a thorn in Rangers side all game. It seemed Rangers were going in at half time with a comfortable lead, Pie and Piggy grabbing goals either side of a CUT goal. However, the defence seemed to crumble, allowing CUT to score 3 goals in quick succession leading to a different spin on the HT discussions.

The second half was a low scoring game, only 2 goals each from each side. Much of the attacking was done by CUT and on occasions it seemed that it was only a matter of time before Rangers conceded defeat. However, despite going behind, a hugely deflected goal, which will be credited to Gregg, gave Ranger’s hope of a win. And when the lead was taken with only 5 minutes to go, a great finish by Piggy, the Rangers thought they had gotten out of jail!

As always though, BRFC were their own worst enemy, and with the last move of the game, indecisiveness on the edge of the Ranger’s area let CUT in for what, in all honesty, was probably a deserved equaliser.

Something to aim for next week would be to try and reinforce the positive and although not settle for poor play, not to dwell on it either. Far too much negative barracking from the touchlines only leads to indecisiveness on the field. Piggy was my pick of the players, some great finishing, good running and battling, which will give him a boost. He cemented his place at the top of the goal scoring charts with a well taken hat-trick. Lets try to praise the positive aspects of the game.

Final score: Rangers 6 Cheadle Utd Thursday 6
Goals: Pie (1), Gregg (1), Hedderz (1), Piggy (3)
