Match report
Everyone was excited to play on the new pitch at the Summit Sport and Recreation Park. It was flat
and passes would glide across the Astroturf straight to their target.
Play was back and forth for the first 15 minutes with both sides having many chances, but not much
troubled the keepers. It was Hahndorf that struck first, with a powerful strike managing to pass the
line. Rangers got level not long after, with a great run down the right-hand side from Shannon Cox,
who found a low cross that Errol Martin slotted into the bottom corner. Shannon had many near-
misses afterwards and was unlucky not to get a goal for himself, while Hahndorf continued to give
through balls that were usually dealt with by the Rangers’ defence. Near the end of the second half,
Hahndorf found a long shot, drawing a great diving save from Rangers’ keeper, Joseph Bellamy. The
score remained 1-1 at half time.
Hahndorf came out swinging in the second half, with many shots just missing the goal. In one corner,
Rangers’ centerback Charles Kammerman did a great jump to clear the ball, and while on the ground
recovering, used his feet to prevent the second shot. Rangers continued to have shots as well,
testing the Hahndorf keeper. The score was still 1-1 with ten minutes remaining, but a lobbed pass
from Kane Gibbs at the halfway line found the Hahndorf striker Kyle Fenlon, who pushed Hahndorf
in front. Hahndorf managed to find two more goals shortly after, putting the match outcome beyond doubt.
Whilst a disappointing result for Rangers due to the game being even for so much of the game, the
result is still a big improvement on previous fixtures of the two teams.
