Nascot Wood Rangers 2 Comets Sports 0

League - Blue Division, Sunday, October 21.

A battling performance by all 12 players in the torrential rain earned a well deserved 2-0 victory over Comets Sports.

The first piece of action came in the 8th minute when Daniel had to save when confronted head on with the Palace attacker.

After 11 minutes a long through ball put through Hussaan but the keeper saved at his legs.

Soon after Hussaan was denied a one-on-one by a last ditch tackle. On 22 minutes a great through ball by Robert put Hussaan through, but again the goalkeeper saved Comets.

On 25 minutes a corner on the left was taken by Craig, the defender headed the ball out, but he swung the ball in first time from 18 yards, which the goalkeeper, at full stretch, could only palm into the goal.

On the verge of half-time, some good tackling by the ever lively and industrious Harry saw the ball break to Ronnie just inside the right edge of the penalty area. His low drive rocketed into the left hand side on the goal to make it 2-0 to Rangers at half-time.

With the prospect of playing up the steep hill, the second half saw a change of tactics by caretaker manager Gary, with Hussaan dropping back into a five man defence.

This basically resulted in the game being played in midfield, with breakaways being made by Craig, Harry and Ronnie.

In the 40th minutes Daniel had to pull of a superb diving save to thwart an attacker through on goal.

Nascot's best chance of the half came to Craig just inside the six-yard area, but the goalkeeper saved. A couple of more Colt attacks saw them shoot just wide and hit the post.

Alex C, Jamie, Adnam, Robert, Tony and Phil defended well with man of the match Matthew always running and stopping the attacks from midfield alongside Harry and Ronnie.
