Naas 4-2 PRFC
Rangers had no complaints

but a gallant effort might have yielded a result with a full squad.  Following their exertions in Germany this was always going to be a difficult game with 5 players out.  Naas took a lead after a sluggish start from Rangers but the lads pulled together and Scott equalised following Owen's clever chip the top to beat th offside trap.  Within 5 minutes Paul slid through a perfect pass and Amy finished well for the lead goal.  Sean had a good chance for 3-1 but Naas bounced back for the lead.  Rangers struggled in the 2nd half with a couple of injuries and no replacements on the bench.  It was no surprise that Naas tucked away 2 chances although Paul did go close for Rangers.

Knocklyon Utd 1-4 PRFC U 17's
The 17s continued their good form with a convincing 4 1 away win to Knocklyon Utd. Despite starting well, Rangers fell behind after conceding from a corner. Playing the better football,Rangers drew level from an Alan Hope penalty after Al Caul was taken down when just about to score. Rangers had plenty of chances to take the lead in the 2nd half from good play but it was a scramble in the box that led to Al Caul scoring from close in. Some excellent passing from subs Dylan Byrne, Cillian Flynn and Ismail Nouhi led to another sub Ian Jackson Ryan scoring with 2 unstoppable shots for the 3rd and 4th goals. 4 wins from the last 5 games have kept Rangers well in contention for the league and go into their QF game in the Leinster Youths cup against FC Carlow, full of confidence

 BOHEMIANS  1  -  1  PALM RGS
Both teams were unbeaten in the league and you felt nothing was going to be given away easily and this was the case as the game ended in stalemate.  The first half belonged to Bohs as the Parmo lads turned in their poorest first half performance of the season to date (possibly caused by tiredness from the Easter Tournament).  1 down after 8 minutes and second to most balls the Rangers defence were under contant pressure.  It was also the warmest day of the year which didnt help.  A few choice words at half-time from the manager and the lads delivered a strorming performance in the second half.  The large visiting support were soon pleased when Weekes rattled the net 3 minutes intoe the half.  McGrange excelled from the bench to mop up everything in defence while Nolan sprung from the bench to power down the wings at the Bohs defence.  Maguire was one on one and could have sealed it for Parmo but Bohs were dogged and it was honours even at the end.
