ARTHUR DOUBLE PUTS R'S ON TOP

Whilst the first team were failing at Hull on Saturday the under 18's were once again victorious at Harlington. After last weeks destruction of Northampton the young R's went top of the league with a 2-0 win over Brentford.

Joe Gallen made just one change to the side that scored six against The Cobblers last weekend as Reece Crowther replaced the injured Chris Goodchild between the sticks. Aaron Goode, Josh Ford, Andrew Howell and Lee Brown made up the back four, Romone Rose, Billy Coyne, Matt O'Brien and Chris Arthur continued in midfield whilst James Folkes was once again paired with Danny Murphy in attack. 

Rangers scored at the start and end of the game to secure the victory with both goals coming from Chris Arthur.

The R's hit the front after just ten minutes when Arthur volleyed home Rose's cross and the second came about ten minutes from time after a good team move ten minutes from time. Substitute Dean Parrett found Arthur on the left and the winger beat his man and squared for Maguire who played the one two leaving Arthur with the simple task of tapping home to score his fourth of the season from just six starts.

As well as Parrett, Keiron St. Aimie also came off the bench as he continues to comeback from his injury hell and put in another another solid forty five minutes in the second half.

The win leaves Rangers three points clear of Colchester at the top of the South East Conference, however Colchester now have a game in hand as their fixture was postponed. Next week Joe Gallen's boys look to extend their unbeaten run in the league to ten games when they travel to face Brighton and Hove Albion. We'll have news from that game on here next Monday evening.
