Winterton travelled to the South Yorkshire outfit hoping to extend their unbeaten run to three games after two good results with their injury-ravaged side.  Rangers had to start their second game without Captain Billy Green, with Tommy Spall again deputising at centre back and Michael Banks leading the team out.   Rangers kicked off the first half down the slope on a very heavy pitch, and rattle the woodwork as early as the seventh minute when Michael Banks lined-up and blasted a fierce freekick that came back off the far post, Pindar reacted first but his shot was blocked out to Nikolaidis but his goal bound effort was also blocked away.

Just three minutes later and Rangers took the lead.  Richards kept possession well on the left before finding space to cross to the far post.  Vaz Nikolaidis climbed highest and looped his header over the scrambling Hattersley in the Worsbrough goal.

The first real scare for Rangers came when Bark got around Spall but his shot was blocked by the covering Alderson - Goodyear fired back in and again Rangers cleared.   The game then went through a passage of play where both sides battled for supremacy.  The home side had a good chance but Handley could only head straight at Herrick in the Winterton goal.   Vas Nikolaidis, who was having a storming game on the right side of midfield, made a great run before pulling back to Banks who’s in-swinging cross was just too far in front of the stretching Jamie Richards.

The defining moment of first half came with four minutes left.  Worsbrough carved open the Rangers defence with some neat passing that released Goodyear into the box with only Leigh Herrick to beat.  Herrick stood up well before bravely smothering the ball at the midfielder’s feet when he looked odds on to score.

Vas Nikolaidis

With the home side now kicking down the slope in the second half it was obvious that they were to continue with their direct style.  Rangers created the first chance of the half when Stones miss-controlled allowing Richards to send Pindar racing through but the shot was blocked away for a corner.

Just after the hour mark Rangers went further ahead.  Wheatley, at left back, dropped a long pass to Pindar who made ground before feeding the overlapping Nikolaidis who stroked home his second.   Nikolaidis could then have had his hat-trick when Fielding put him through but his shot came off the post with the keeper well beaten.

The home side had nothing to lose and started to push players forward.  As the game was coming to close they had the ball in the back of the net only to see it ruled out for offside.

Rangers dominated and fully deserved the result.  On another day both Pindar and Nikolaidis would have come away with a hat trick apiece.  Although Steve Smith hasn’t been able to field the same side two weeks running the players have responded well when coming in and sometimes playing out of position.
