THREE STRAIGHT DEFEATS
Monday 31st March 2008

Rangers' under 18's slipped to their third consecutive defeat on Saturday afternoon going down 3-1 at home to Harlington.

After crashing out of the Youth Association Cup over Easter The Young R's were free to concentrate on their league title chase but have now failed to win in the last three league matches.

Lee Brown scored Rangers' consolation goal in this one, his first of the season, after Gillingham had secured a 2-0 half time lead and wrapped up the points early in the second period.

Our lead in the South East Conference is now down to three points over second placed Leyton Orient and there is a further point between them and Gillingham in third. However Rangers do have a game in hand on both sides.

Next week could be crucial in the battle to retain the league championship when Leyton Orient visit Harlington, if we can win that one that would leave us six points clear with three to play whilst Orient would only have another potential six points available to them.

QPR: Crowther, Coyne, Ford, Harris, Brown, Arthur, O'Brien, Lawrence, Maguire, Morgan-Cummings, German.
