Tauranga City was the nemesis for Plains Rangers this weekend.
On Saturday Gary Fowell Builders Plains Rangers men's team traveled to play Tauranga City Relics. Rangers scraped together eleven players for the game, including a couple playing through injuries. The Relics played a well constructed game from the outset and were 3 - 0 up at half time.
Rangers had quite a good spell for the first twenty minutes of the second half, creating a number of chances. Ben McPherson, Chris Dell and Barrie Hawkes all got within range but were denied. In the end Relics were too strong, taking the game 7 - 0.
Rangers player of the day was left back Patrick Lambert.
On Sunday Gary Fowell Builders Plains Rangers women also traveled to play Tauranga City and were also 3 - 0 down after a messy first half. They put together a good second half, led by player of the day Julie Reihana who put in a brave performance. The final score was 4 - 0 to Tauranga.
This weekend Rangers men have no game, while Rangers women are away to Papamoa.
