RANGERS STILL IN THE TITLE HUNT

The under 18’s remain right in the hunt for the South East Conference title after taking four points from their last two games.

Last weekend they saw off Portsmouth in a re-arranged away fixture, goals from Keiron St. Aimie and Romone Rose gave The R’s a 2-0 victory in that one. Then this Saturday a thrilling comeback earned the lads a 2-2 draw at home to Southend.

Joe Gallen’s side found themselves two down by half time against The Shrimpers, but fought back made the latest of late comebacks to earn a point.  

First St. Aimie gave Rangers the lifeline with two minutes left to play making it two in two for the rejuvenated forward. Then, deep into a very long period of stoppage time, R’s trialist Angelo Balanta knocked home the vital equaliser.

The draw means Rangers sit just a point behind leaders Gillingham with two games in hand over the Kent boys. We have five matches left to play now and next week have an away trip to Rushden and Diamonds to look forward to. The home fixture ended in a 6-0 romp for Rangers, another result like that will do very nicely!

QPR: Goodchild, Ford (Balanta), Goode, Howell, Brown, Rose, Coyne. O’Brien, Arthur, St. Aimie, Maguire.
