Rangers shine in glorious weather

NDSL Under 8 Premier Division

Rivervalley Rangers………4
Glebe North………………….0



Rivervalley ran out comfortable winners in this league game in Rivervalley Park on a bright Saturday morning. Rangers created a host of early chances with Carl Rooney, Matthew Kinahan and Louise O’Shea all going close inside the opening 10 minutes and it was O’Shea who eventually opened the scoring. A ball out from the back by Killian Shortt found Robert Campbell in the middle. He threaded a neat pass through to O’Shea on the edge of the box who took one touch and hammered it into net leaving the keeper no chance.


The second goal followed on 15 minutes after a scramble in the Glebe area. Jamie Britnell eventually controlling the ball and laying it square into the path of Campbell, for him to tap home from 6 yards.

The pick of the goals was the third coming just before half time. The ball started out with David Murray in the Rangers goal. His clearance was collected by Campbell who found Bradley Rogers on the left. His well weighted square ball was met full on by Britnell who smashed into the top corner from outside the box.
Into the second half and the chances continued to come with Campbell, Rogers and Owen Kelly all going close, with Kelly pulling a fine save out of the Glebe keeper with a well placed free-kick that was heading for the top corner. It was after that resulting corner that Rangers scored their fourth goal. Campbell took a quick short corner to Kelly whose cross was collected at the far post by Kinahan, who fired the ball back across the box, where Rogers controlled it beautifully before slotting it past the keeper.
