Square Rangers 1 Square
United 3
Saturday 8th December
2007
All credit to Rangers
for their battling display but United were the stronger side, particularly
in the second half, and deservedly won this derby game played on
a cold, wet and windy day.
The first half saw United mostly in control but Rangers were always
creating problems. There were very few clear cut chances but United
took a first half lead when a shot from Mark was deflected into
the Rangers net.
The second half started with Rangers grabbing an early equalizer
when a shot at goal was diverted into his own net by Andy. United
responded by taking control and pushed Rangers back and they eventually
made their pressure pay when Darren and Tom scored to seal a 3-1
victory.
Goalscorers:
Darren Custance 1, Tom
Mitchelmore 1, Own-Goal.
Man of the Match:
Jamie Copperwheat - it
was his running at the Ranger’s defence that led to the winning
goals.
Summary:
The weather conditions and the cut up pitch did not help the two
teams to place good passing football (big thank you to the spectators
who braved the weather). However both sides did their best to make
this a good football match but United’s strength, and ability
to finish strongly, saw then home.
