Rangers triumph over Masi in Surrey Estate
Four tries for Rangers RFC secured the home side their third win of the season against Masiphumelele in Surrey Estate over the weekend.
The Super League C encounter between the two teams drew a significant number of spectators.
This victory was particularly sweet for Rangers, who bounced back from their previous defeat against Busy Bees a week ago.
Yusuf George, Ndikho Makapela, Simamkele Kwesaba, and Yassen Orrie were the try scorers for Rangers.
Joel Murphy was pivotal in securing the win, converting two of the tries and adding three penalties to the scoreboard.
This collective effort resulted in a convincing performance. With 15 points after four games, Rangers have positioned themselves well to make a strong chase for the promotion spots in the league.
On the other side, Masiphumelele's struggles continued, as this match marked their sixth straight loss of the season, leaving them with only two points on the board. Despite their ongoing challenges, the team showed moments of resilience, but it wasn't enough to overcome the well-coordinated attack and defence of Rangers.
Rangers and the rest of the Super League C sides are all chasing the current pacesetters, Pniel Villagers, who have made a dominant start to the season by winning all six of their games.
Over the weekend, Villagers narrowly edged Primrose 30-29, maintaining their unbeaten streak and keeping a safe distance from the chasing pack. They currently sit atop the log with 28 points, four points clear of Macassar.
Macassar, another formidable contender, also had an impressive weekend, easily defeating Scottsdene Central 62-7 by running in 10 tries. Macassar has won all five of their opening games, boasting the most points scored and the fewest conceded in the league. Their performance underscores their status as a leading team and a tough competitor for any side in the league.
In other Super League C matches over the weekend, Goodwood demonstrated their strength by running in nine tries to secure a 55-0 victory against Strand, marking their third win in four games. Gardens claimed their second win in five games with a commanding 33-17 triumph over Eesterivier.
Looking ahead, Rangers will travel to Atlantis, aiming to build on their recent success and make it two wins in a row. Other fixtures for Saturday, June 1, include Primrose vs Masiphumelele, Macassar vs Busy Bees, Paarl vs Goodwood, Young Peoples vs Strand United, and Blue Jets vs Gardens.
