Offwell Rangers claimed a superb victory to give their Fresha League Division Seven promotion hopes a massive boost with a single goal win at home to table-topping Central.
The game did not see a goal in the first-half and, with Rangers boosted by the return
of regular glovesman Ben Kayes, they had a commanding – and vocal – influence
across the back line.
After the break Rangers created a couple of chances before a sweet 18-yard strike from Darren Whitmarsh saw the visitors take away all three points.

Rangers boss Scott Phillips said¨ “We went into the game with a specific game and, fair play to the lads, they followed it to the latter. We knew a bit about them and our game plan was based whilst when we attacked, we wanted to do with both pace and numbers.
