NEXT WEEK
WE'LL BE CHAMPIONS
The under 18’s took a massive step towards the league
championship this week with a fantastic 3-2 win over Leyton
Orient that had the watching Harlington faithful on the edge of
their proverbial seats.
Joe Gallen made three changes from the side that beat Colchester
United last week for this, the final home game of the season.
Chris Goodchild was back in goal with Andrew Howell returning to
the defence alongside Billy Coyne, Aaron Goode and Lee Brown.
Danny Maguire came in on the right wing with Matt O’Brien,
Keiron St. Aimie and Chris Arthur retaining their midfield
slots. Upfront Romone Rose once again partnered Angelo Balanta.
The game got off to a blistering start with the first four goals
coming inside the opening twenty minutes.
Rangers hit the front with only nine minutes on the clock when a
corner was poked home by Howell to get the lads off to a fine
start. Orient struck back six minutes later but Angelo Balanta
restored the home sides advantage with his third goal in the
last four games.
The visitors leveled things up two minutes later after being
awarded a dubious corner and it took until deep into the second
half before Rangers finally put the game to rest when Rose
belted home an Orient clearance from just outside the eighteen
yard box. It was his tenth goal of the season and makes him the
seasons top scorer.
The win moves us up to second place in the South East Conference
table, just a point behind the leaders Gillingham and with a
game in hand on the Kent side.
Next week The Gills complete their fixtures with a trip to
Brighton, anything less than a win for them leaves us the
opportunity to be crowned champions with a game still to play,
provided we win our fixture against Northampton.
If both sides win then Rangers will still finish top if we take
at least a point from our final game at Brighton on the 21st
April. Any slip ups at Northampton though could mean the end of
the title chase.
QPR:
Goodchild, Coyne, Goode, Howell, Brown,
