Stafford Rangers under 10's managed to beat the opposition and the hot sun to win the Stone tournament. It was credit to the young rangers outfit as they did not get to play the final until 5pm but still came out comfortable winners 3 - 0 against the hosts Stone Dominoes. Rangers dominated the final from start to finish with quick passing attacking football.It was no surprise when Jack Tomlinson slotted home after good play from wing wizard Josh Wilson beating two players and putting in a great cross. The score was soon doubled as Alex Mackay found the perfect ball to split the Stone defence for top marksman Ben Starkey to run onto and coolly slot into the corner . Dominoes tried to fight back but found the defence of Adam Pope , Connor Alldritt and the safe hands of Aiden Jackson in mean mood.. The game was soon killed off as Joseph Shanley burst through the midfield to find Tom Sabinon at hand to poke home the third.
Rangers Come out on top again!
