Division 1 Here We Come!

Posted: March 27th, 2011 by Fergus

Penn Rangers U14   3 – 0   Pinner U14

The Mighty R’s will be playing div 1 football next season, after a 3-0 win over promotion chasing rivals, Pinner. Rangers went into this fixture, top of the table but with just a point separating them from Pinner in second spot & an inform Wendover making ground in third place. Rangers were plagued with injuries & illness on their away visit to Pinner receiving a 6-3 thumping, so there were two reasons to put in a convincing performance today.

As expected with a top of the table clash, both teams came out at a high tempo, knowing the importance of the first goal, providing end to end football. Rangers went ahead in great fashion with Seve delivering a dangerous ball into the area, where Akos caught it sweetly on the volly. Rangers created a few more chances and were content at 1-0 going into the interval.

Second half Rangers started to take control of the game, but there were reminders that Pinner are a good side & capable of getting the ball in the net. Things got better when Tinaye ( MOM ) was persistent in front of goal & got his reward putting Rangers 2-0 up.

Joey who was part of the 2nd goal build up made it 3-0 after getting his head onto a well delivered free kick from George.

Full time 3-0 & Rangers will join their sister team in div 1 next season, achieving back to back promotions & writing history for P&TGFC, having two teams in the top div.

Should Rangers win one of their remaining two fixtures, they will go up as Champions for the second season running.

A massive well done to the whole squad – each & every one of you played an important part in The Mighty R’s achievements this season. Simon, Mark, Steve, Anton, myself & parents are very proud of you all.

Come on you R’s
