Thurston Rangers lose their final home league game of the season in high scoring match

It was a bit after the Lord Mayor’s Show for Thurston Rangers who lost their last home league game of the season to West Norfolk.

Two weeks after lifting the Characre Cup in the final against Ipswich YM the first XV came away on the wrong end of a high scoring 62-41 defeat at Robinson’s Field, on Saturday, leaving them second from bottom of the London 3 Eastern Counties  League.

The try scorers for the home side were two from captain Ed Ballam and another brace from Sean Handleigh with one each from Oli Paxman and Jamie Drury. Kieran Cusker made four conversations out of six and also scored a penalty.

Ballam said: “Although we lost it was a good game played well between both teams with lots of attacking threat on show and a good way to finish the last home game of the season.”

The Rangers play their final game of the season against Crusaders at Little Melton on Saturday.
