RANGERS took to the field knowing they had games in hand against strong opposition who stood at the top of the league.

Worle broke the deadlock following good work from Imrie, who set Tom Williams through to score. However, the opposition soon equalised through Kyle Hobden and could have extended the lead, but Jakeman was alert to the danger.

Wilson extended the lead for Worle following a Liddiard free kick to leave the score-line 2-1 at half-time.

After the break, Shipham equalised again through Adam Basher. Worle again took advantage of a set piece as Imrie smashed home to make it 3-2.

Worle extended their lead with goals from Stephens and a penalty from Owen.

Brinson was superb in the middle of the park and Owen kept possession well with Wilson strong at the back. However, it was left back Imrie who was awarded the Curry Garden man of the match award.

Man of the match for Shipham went to Ben Hollow, with notable mentions to Adam Basher and Kyle Hobden.
