Stafford Rangers U18’s 3-1 Solihull Moors U18’s

Newly formed Stafford Rangers Under 18’s started the new campaign in the Midland Floodlit Youth League with and excellent 3-1 win over fulltime academy side Solihull Moors.

The Boro boys side is a combination of U16’s 17’s & 18’s and helped by various coaching staff with the support from First team manager Neil Kitching.

Stafford started brightly with some nice interchanging passing and it came as no surprise when Rangers took the lead, Josh Moody beat his defended and crossed for OWEN TURNER to head home at the far post on 22 minutes.

Rangers were in dream land 5 minutes later when Turner became provider for JOSHUA HAYNES to fire home form 20 yards.

Stafford continued the good work with Lewis Norman controlling the back four and both Jamie Elkes and Callum Woolley bossing the midfield, upfront Jordan Dodd was running himself into the ground as the lone striker.

Following the interval Solihull started to throw players forward with a change of formation, and after a few close efforts it was soon 2-1. Stafford gave away a cheap free-kick which was delivered into the far post and prodded home from close range. Boro keeper Tom Degg produced 2 excellent saves to keep Solihull at Bay and with 10 minutes remaining Rangers LUCAS BURNETT was sent clear by Mason Ward and the 15 year forward made no mistake to make it 3-1., he should have doubled his tally in the final few minutes but he delayed his shot and allowed the defender to clear.

Overall a positive start for Stafford who this week face Barnsley WMA at Marston Road on Thursday 7th September Kick off 7:45pm
