James McClean: The Story So Far.
By Mark Lynch

When the Republic of Ireland qualified for the European Championships last November, one of the last people that most would have expected to be on the plane to Poland is Sunderland's winger James McClean.

Rangers put in a spirited display against the leaders Fettercairn and were good value going in at half time level when Mark Lowry's excellent finish equalised an earlier effort from the visitors.  Fettercairn showed their class during the second half and a superb volley provided the lead goal and when they scored the third it looked all over.  However Ross pulled one back and Rangers had a right go the the end and almost forced the equaliser following a goal mouth scramble.  Full credit to the lads and keeper Mikey who had a solid game between the sticks.

The result was very harsh on a gallant rangers who gave their all but just lacked the quality up front to put pressure on the home team who are flying this season.  Rangers conceded mid-way through the half but Paul had a great chance for the equaliser which just shaved the post.  Rangers battled bravely with keeper Ross, Adam and Andy in good form, although Peamount got a crucial second, Rangers spurned two glorious chances and Peamount broke to put a gloss on the result and advance to the Semi

Rangers had a great win in a hard fought game against St Joeys on a warm November Sunday.  This was a good contest on a poor pitch where Rangers showed their hunger to overturn a 2-1 deficit at half time to snatch the win.  A great battling peformance with goals from Scott, Dave and Paul proving the difference.  Great credit to all the lads and special mention to Central Defenders Adam and Jack who stood tall as Joeys pushed for the equaliser.

Confey FC 2-2 PRFC

This was a hard-fought game in dreadful conditions at St Cathrine's Park in Leixlip on Sunday 23rd October.  On a small and bumpy pitch with constant rain the pretty football was not the order of the day as both sides tried to secure the win.  Rangers twice took the lead through Mark Scully and Paul Datcu, but Confey battled hard and made the most of their chances to get a deserved draw.  Rangers failed to carve out the chances their possession merited and Confey always looked dangerous on the break and from set pieces.  Both sides will have a say in the final destination of the league.
