Central Federation League New Plymouth Rangers travelled to Memorial Park, Palmerston North, to play league leaders PN Marist on Sunday. Rangers could not quite reach the same level of performance as last week, losing 4-1. Again Rangers did not start so well with early pressure on their goal. But for some outstanding defensive work by Lizzie Ingham, Jess Browne and goalkeeper Sophie Campbell, the 2-0 half-time score line to Marist could have been worse. Two quick goals from Hannah Buzan and Kirsty Gledhill gave the Palmerston side their lead just after the half-hour mark. The second half saw Rangers begin to lift their own intensity and get in the ball more.
