| Before the game Rangers lined up for a team photo. Just about a full line up. Chris is the only regular missing. Click here for a bigger team pic. Back row: Guy, Barrie, Timen, Christian, Grahame, Jason, Tiemen, Sam Front: Aaron, Ali, Matt, Jacob, Kirk, Ben, James and Matt |
Photos from later in the game: Under pressure, Ben McPherson passes to Matt Orr-McKeown. |
 |
 |
| Ben heads towards the Papamoa goal, but is tackled by a defender. | The defender wraps his legs around the ball! Ben is going nowhere! |
 |
 |
| Papamoa in possession. Wett, Grahame Sims and young Tiemen Corporaal get organised. | Jimmy Hart shoots for goal. This carefully placed shot went just over the top. |
 |
 |
| Ben heads goalwards once more. Up front Matt Dalgity and Guy Askew are well marked. | Shades of ballet, Ali Scott attempts to block the Papamoa attacker's shot. Grahame and Jimmy watch with interest. |
 |
 |
| Kirk Bain races back to cover an attack. | Sam McPherson competes for the ball. |
 |
 |
| Tiemen Corporaal senior has just subbed on and after some neat interpassing, scored the winner! Ali, Kirk and Jimmy are impressed. | Jacob and Sam congratulate Big T. |
 |
 |
| The supporters are happy. | At the final whistle Big T troops off. It is his first game back after dislocating his elbow and he has scored and not injured himself! |
