Northern League Round 6 - Results
This week-end United played at home against Rangers.
Under 18's are at the top of the ladder and expected to comfort this place by a win against a strong Ranger team. Rangers scored the first but Sam Wagner scored for United after a nice left foot shot of the box. Some minutes later the younger Wagner brother Daniel scored a volley on the back post. United won 2-1 and get now 6 more points than Rangers and Ulverstone. Keeper Simon Lucas broke his finger and we hope he will come back soon. Well done lads.
The Reserve had a very close game too. Rangers opened the score by a big hit from 25 meters. Daniel Phillips scored for United but Rangers get the win in the last minutes.
The Senior team played against back-to-back Northern League champion in a tight game also. The game started very bad for us when Rangers scored in the first 2 minutes. United started to play well on the ground and both team had occasion to score. Keeper Pat Farrell saved numerous of balls and made an impressive game. Just before half time united efforts were rewarded when Agele Luate lob Ranger keeper. Half time, 1-1.
The team started the second half as they finish the first with lots of passing and D'Zeffrey Bart scored a second goal for United. Rangers were still very dangerous, Pat Farrell continued to sicken Rangers strikers while Alex Rubel saved a ball on the line. D'Zeffrey Bart showed his slide tackles skills in a one Vs one action in the box. Unfortunately Rangers kept pushing and get two penalty in ten minutes to led 3-2 with 10 minutes to go.United pushed hard to get the draw but ended the game with an honorific defeat against a solid Rangers team.
