Sunday 22 February 2015, Headstone Manor Recreation Ground. Harrow League Cup. This was an heroic performance in difficult playing conditions by all 11 boys that was deserving of more than they got. Unbeaten Pinner Albion were given the scare of their lives and only got their victory because Rangers switched off temporarily at the start of …
After a frosty night the sun broke through to soften a heavy muddy pitch. However, the game was on at Brook House versus their U12Bs; always a difficult and tough fixture for Ruislip Rangers. RRFC started brightly but were put on the back foot within 5 minutes when Brook House saw an opening and fired …
A trip across to St. Joseph’s for a first time encounter against their B team. The boys were up for this after their great start to the New Year; remaining unbeaten. St. Joseph’s played a solid game at the back and had a couple of boys testing the RRFC defence. However, some good interplay on …
Sunday 15 February 2015, 10:30am KO. Kings College Field. A few years ago this team routinely came back from being behind in matches and, against a team of tall and strong boys, Rangers recaptured that ‘comeback spirit’ as they recovered from being 3-1 down at half-time to deservedly win. In the first minute of the …
Sunday 8 February 2015, 10:30am. Headstone Manor Recreation Ground. The game did not start well for Rangers. Within the first 8 minutes they were 2-0 down. Rangers played with four at the back for the first time and, because of absences, some boys were playing out-of-position. But Rangers defended well and deservedly got a goal back …
The team knew this was going to be no easy game against an in form powerful Wembley side. The boys were given the tactics and formation before the game and leading the division told to go and express their football abilities. They duly did so as inside ten minutes Jack Tomkins put in a low …
Traditionally cup semi-finals are tense, tight affairs and this was no exception. The glue pot of a pitch made good football almost impossible and it was a day when the result had to be ground out. Hard fought does not do it justice but the harder the battles, it seems the greater the resolve of …
Ruislip Rangers (U13 Wycombe) 1 – TFA Totteridge 0 – Middlesex Cup Semi Final Read More »
Sunday 1 February 2015, 10:30am Even though the pitch was incredibly heavy and muddy, the boys were just grateful to finally have a game to play having had just 4 matches in the last 3 months. That eagerness was evident from the off as they shot into an early lead. The first goal came after …
Nice and sunny but a cold wind welcomed RRFC at new Pond Playing Fields, a venue new to the team. Our opposition were local rivals Bessingby Park Rangers. The pitch goal areas were mud baths and there was a noticeable slope. The boys were warmed up gently but remained focused for what was understood to …
Ruislip B had another derby game this week on again a heavy pitch against a resolute Ruislip C. The 1st half was competitive from both sides trying to play good football but the wet pitch denying both sides at times. Ruislip B got the break through from a corner glanced on from Jordon Cameron for …
