Luke remembered in charity shield LUSC 1ST GRADE V KEMPSEY RANGERS I must apologise to those inconvenienced by the unfortunate forfeit in reserve grade last weekend. With just 6 players available, the first graders would have had to double up. The 1st Grade game was the best we have witnessed for quite a while. The rangers came out throwing everything they had at us. Wayward shooting on their part and determined defence by us kept the score to nil all at the break. Once again, at the start of the second half, they came at us for the first 10 minutes. By now we began to cre- ate some raids on them and 15 minutes in we were rewarded. A long ball from Emerson found Alan Williams (who was menacing up front). He got a cross to Ryan Squires who planted the pill into the net. 10 minutes later Mitch Williams beat a couple of players out on the left, got the ball to Alan, and a one two saw Mitch score our second and silence the Rangers outfit. They came at us once again and we hung on until the last 30 seconds. A consolation goal final - final score 2- 1. Some of the Redbacks crew were still singing the song at about 11pm back at our sponsors house (LUSC). Too many fine games were had by all the play- ers to mention. However, the big fella between the sticks had a pearler. Next week home to Old Bar. Thanks to our supporters. Hoping to see a big crowd next week. Go you Redbacks... Redbacks on fire
