Osborne saved Rangers blushes with some timely tackles as the team pressed
for more. The second half saw Water claim his fourth and fifth to take the
score to 8 v 1 , as Rangers foot came off the peddle Stamford Bridge pulled
two quick goals back before Waters scored his fifth. As the game went on
Stamford Bridge began to play some good football and scored twice more before
the final whistle.

Coaches
Comments: This was always going to be a game of goals with two good attacking
teams, Rangers got the upper hand early of and never really looked like
giving it up, despite a late flurry by Stamford Bridge. Well played lads
next week is our biggest game of the season away v Tigers Cooperative in
the League Cup.
