A footballing lesson was dished out to Gary Fowell Builders Plains Rangers on Saturday. Rangers were at home to league leaders Katikati and the home team started strongly, putting all the pressure on. However, this just served to spur Katikati into action, and they got into top gear. Rangers were five goals down at half time and went on to lose 10 - nil.
Katikati's midfield played very strongly and put together some excellent movement. Grahame Sims was named player of the day for Rangers for his sound contribution in defence. This Saturday Rangers travel to play Taupo A.
On Sunday Whakatane Town hosted Gary Fowell Builders Plains Rangers in the women's league. Whakatane started well and got to a comfortable lead after twenty minutes. However, Rangers got their play going better as the game went on and held Whakatane to a 6 - 0 final score. Ranee Whiting's determined defending saw her named player of the day.
This Sunday Rangers women are away to Rotorua.
