Match Report

TTA report

Rangers were 3-up (the 1st a soft, disputed pen) before Brown reduced the lead from 25 yards but Rangers were well in control. An overhead kick (47) made it 4 then they lost a defender to injury. Even so, they managed a 5th late on. Despite the score Steadward had some tremendous saves.
