RANGERS RETURN TO SEE OFF NORTHAMPTON
Monday 7th January 2008

The under 18’s returned to action after their Christmas break this past weekend and got straight back to winning ways with a 2-1 victory over Northampton Town. 

After three weeks without a game it was good to see the break hasn’t dented the lads form as they extended their winning run to nine matches at this level. However after battering their way through opponents in the later half of last year this one was anything but a cakewalk.  

After a goalless first period it was the visitors who took the lead when Shaun Goodall put Northampton 1-0 early in the second half.  

Rangers dug in though and turned things around with goals from Josh Parker and substitute Aaron Morgan-Cummings to earn the win.  

The result extends our lead at the top of the South East Conference table to 9 points over second placed Wycombe who have played two games less.  

Next week The R’s travel to struggling Southend United looking for their tenth straight league success. We’ll have news from that game online next Monday.  

QPR: Goodchild, Coyne, Ford, Harris, Brown, Rose, Davenport, O’Brien M, Arthur, Parker, German. Subs used: Morgan-Cummings, Lawrence, Perring. Subs not used: Wright, Vanterpool
