Young R's Beaten Again
Rangers Youngsters recent bad form continued with a 3-1 home defeat to second placed, Gillingham at Harlington on Saturday morning.
Much like last weeks semi final, the weather played its part in this one and due to injury and illness, the R's had just one sub available on the bench. Rangers were three down shortly into the second half and although the R's went on to create chances, Lee Brown's goal was all that Rangers had to show for their efforts.
QPR - Reece Crowther, Billy Coyne, Lee Brown, Matt
O’Brien, Josh Ford, Ed Harris. Aaron Morgan-Cummings, Danny Maguire,
Antonio German, Chris Arthur, Demi Lawrence. Sub used: Harry Smart
The Young R's are still top of the table and are 4 points clear with a game in hand on Gillingham, with 4 games left to play.
Rangers Youngsters next game is at home to Leyton Orient, on Saturday 5th April, Kick Off at 10.45am.
All home fixtures are played at Imperial College Sports Ground, Sipson Lane, Harlington, Middlesex.
