100 PERCENT START
Monday 1st September 2008

Rangers' under 18's continued their good start to the season by winning their second match in a row on Saturday morning. Despite finding themselves a goal down at Barnet they fought back to come away from North London with a 2-1 victory.

Steve Brown made only one change from the side that defeated Peterborough two weeks ago.

Nikki Bulmer continued in goal behind a back four of Michael Harriman, Ed Harris, Michael Wright and Femy Ilesanmi. Danny Davenport, Max Ehmer and Terry Smith were the midfield trio whilst Cyrus Sylvan-Vanterpool replaced Danny Fernandez in attack alongside Antonio German and Christian Nanetti.

Barnet took the lead just shy of the half hour mark after being awarded a hotly disputed penalty however Rangers struck back just two minutes later when Sylvan-Vanterpool slotted home to level the scores going into half time.

The winner came ten minutes after the break, Nanetti was felled 20 yards from goal but before the ref could blow for the free kick Davenport curled the loose ball home, much to the anger of the home side who believed a free kick should have been awarded.

The under 18's are back in action this weekend as they make another trip across London, this time to face Brentford. We'll have news from that game online on Monday evening.
