SHANNON RANGERS FC
Rangers made their exit from the Fast Food Cup away to Sallypark (b) last Sunday. Rangers went 2-0 up in the first half through a Brian Hourigan in-swinging corner and then a flicked header from John Flanneru. But in the second half things went against us with 2 goals from Sallypark, and a missed penalty from Padraig O’Meara drove the game to extra time when Sallypark won.
Thank you to all the players who showed up on the day and we are hoping now to finish the league strongly so it is important all players keep coming for the remaining games.
Training is in the complex in Borrisokane each Wednesday at 8pm. As always all players are asked to attend and new players are always welcome.
