The Reserves reversed the poor early season form with a convincing 5-1 win over Launceston. A much younger side took to the park with Pat Lanau-Atkinson and Declan Cucshieri making their debut for the club in the season proper, in midfield together with Devin Eilander and Joey Summers, with the exception of veteran Pete McBeath it was the youngest mid field the club had put out for many years.
It was Joey Summers who pounced on a chance on a tight angle in a goal mouth scramble to open the scoring at 1-0
Chad Honey migrated to the loan striker role and had an exceptional game, starting well when he was put through from a lovely through ball, Honey controlled his shot, passing it perfectly past the keeper and into the net for 2-0.
Everyone’s favorite Peter Mcbeath grabbed the third before half time and the Reserves were in complete control. At times passing the ball and playing the proposed system to perfection, with no one playing a poor game. Perhaps as a direct result of a younger line up.
The best performances were coming from the back four, a completely different line up from week one with Guillam Girrad, Rohan Pooley, Amos Gbasie and Oytun Aykiran. They were setting up the plays in the first place, left and right backs Guillam Girrard and Oytun Aykiran in particular having outstanding games.
After half time Rangers went to sleep a little and let Launceston back into the game, a dubious goal was awarded direct from a corner to ruin the clean sheet, but this awoke the Rangers again and Chad Honey finished two great goals to make it 5-1, and round off his first club hat trick.
