Vale Rec 4, Rangers 5.

FOR entertainment value, Rangers are undoubtedly the team to watch. Twice last night they gave their hosts Vale Rec a two-goal lead, only to peg them back on both occasions before grabbing a winner.

To come away from the game with nothing was harsh on the home side, particularly their dynamic front two of Lee Ogier and Dave Cusack, but there is currently an aura about Rangers that they will score more than the opposition, no matter how many that may be.

‘We changed it around at half-time, got closer to them and got the ball forward again. We gave them too much room in the middle early on,’ said Rangers coach Paul Ockleford. ‘It was a good win in the end.’
