With the girls finishing their season one week earlier, six Rangers teams took to the park on the weekend for the final time in 2011.
The under 12 boys defeated Riverside to finish the season in third place. Congratulations to Jason Reid and Josh Hinds on a job well done. Jason and Josh have persisted with pass and move football at an age where it doesn't always bring the rewards at the end of the match. The foundations can now be built on further in 2012.
Starting with the under 16 boys this week, and the Reds had the bye. Importantly, the Southern Raiders took a point off Olympic with a draw, and the Reds are now back in the hunt. The equation is simple: win both remaining matches, against the Blues and Olympic, and win the league.
The under 12 boys regressed after a fine performance 7 days ago, and had to scrabble for a late goal to earn a 3-3 draw against Riverside. Passing was off, and first touches were also poor, with a number of opportunities in front of goal being lost to a poor first touch. Movement off the ball was a little lazy, making the work of the ball carrier more difficult and forcing decision errors. Need to change up a gear next week.
