An entertaining game at The Coombe Dingle Complex where Rockleaze Rangers took on local rivals Henbury. The visitors got off to a flying start when Aaron Anglin picked up on a long ball and made space to drive the ball across keeper Sam Burgess into the far corner. The game was played at hectic pace with both teams having a share of possession. Henbury’s Scott Thomas might have done better with his shot that went just over the bar. At the other end Ieuan Crowe’s 25 yard shot went straight to Jake Hannam in the Henbury goal. In the 29th minute it looked as though Anglin had got free on goal with just the keeper to beat but a fine tackle from Aaron Day removed the threat. Burgess brought of a great save to deny Reece Purnell in the 31st minute, then a couple of minutes later Burgess rushed off his line to pip Purnell to the ball well outside the box. In the 38th minute Henbury had a great chance to go 2-0 up after Reece Purnell put Kane Simpson clear on goal but he pulled his shot wide. Burgess was certainly the busier of the two keepers as he again brought off a great save to deny Purnell.

Rangers Tom Dailly’s 30 yard shot had Hannam at full stretch to keep the ball out. Burgess came to the rescue again in 56th minute saving from point blank range a Kane Simpson shot the ball eventually running out for a goal kick. Henbury’s persistence paid off in the 74th minute when a tremendous 35 yard shot from Adam Rosser was parried by Burges but Aaron Anglin nipped in to send the rebound into the Rangers net. A minute later Rangers came close when Steve Fitzpatrick’s shot struck the post. Henbury sealed the points in the 85th minute with a superb goal from Adam Rosser. A free kick 35 yards out was rolled to Rosser by Jack Mills Rosser let fly with a thunderous low shot that saw Burgess rooted to the spot as the ball whistled into the Rangers net.
