Rangers continued to press forward but couldn’t find an equaliser the team deserved. Matters were not helped when Reuben Warburton saw red for his second yellow card with 10 minutes left. Niall and Devan Leggett, Taku Warren and Tre de John were the pick of the Rangers players. A lack of strikers is the main problem and coach Andy Hamilton is looking to bring in a couple from the reserve team. Next weekend sees a return to action in the Federation Cup with a visit to Whanganui City.
TARANAKI PREMIER LEAGUE Connor Oliver-Rose continued his magic in front of goal, netting after just three minutes.
