Much like the first team this season Rangers had to fight back into the game from a goal down when Neil Emblen put the home side ahead inside the first five minutes, however it was a lead that was not to last long, Andy Thomson hit the first of his and Rangers two goals only six minutes later with a fine shot from outside the area. It was Thommo again that put Rangers back into the lead, before Ian Henderson levelled for the visitors with ten minutes of the first half to go.

The score remained at two all and must be considered a good result for our second string. Despite fielding a side that included experienced players like Thommo, Connolly and Digby, Rangers also played some players out of their natural positions with left back Gino Padula slotting in alongside Marien Ifura at centre back and Dennis Oli playing right wing. Norwich are unbeaten in the Combination League this season so the performance tonight is perhaps even more impressive.

More important than all that though is the return to fitness and form of Andy Thomson, who, given the recent popgun nature of our attack, must surely be inline for a start this weekend at Mansfield.
