Worle Rangers 4

WORLE Rangers recorded a fine victory against Division 4 high-fliers Bournville Rovers.

Although Bournville dominated the early possession, Rangers soaked up the pressure and hit the home team on the break through the pace of Williams, Stephens and Chatterley.

Bournville opened the scoring after 20 minutes, despite the backline of Royce, Prime, Wilson and Clark standing firm, with Hannam protecting well in front. Hockey in goal swept up when required.

Eventually Rangers’ energy created the breakthrough as Chatterley fed Stephens who finished coolly. Rangers took the lead when Hannam fed Williams who finished superbly to put Rangers 2-1 up at the break.

After the break, Williams added a third after good work from Wilson and Carter pounced quickly to make it four. Bournville never stopped working and pulled a goal back with five minutes lef.

Jamie Stephens gave his best team performance in a Rangers shirt and was only pipped to the Curry Garden man of the match by Jake Hannam.
