With both sides low on numbers, Tombrack and Gorey Rangers men's teams still managed to produce an exciting friendly before our lads eventually came out 2-1 winners.
Premier side Rangers started the game well and looked comfortable in possession although they did find the well marshaled Tombrack defence difficult to break down. However, they did go ahead when they scored midway through the half with a well taken goal and were looking comfortable at this stage. Our lads were managing to create some chances and on one of those occasions, James Coleman was taken down for a penalty, which taken by Bob but was well saved by the keeper, however, Richie O Hara was on hand to knock the rebound into the net.
Darragh Hendrick and Bob Newe were proving very strong in defence and restricting Gorey's chances while Rory Newe and Jamie Murphy were creating all sort of problems for the home side as the first half ended all square.
The second half was very much as the first half with Gorey enjoying the possession but Tombrack were well in control of the situation and were growing in confidence as the game progressed and ten minutes from the end, Savo slotted the ball into the net to put the lads 2-1 ahead.
The drama wasn't over yet as Rangers came in search of an equaliser and were awarded a penalty with five minutes to go but keeper Alan Owens topped off a good overall display by saving the spotkick and Tombrack held on for a 2-1 win
Overall manager Joe Newe was happy with the performance and content with how the team is shaping up as the season quickly approaches
