Rockleaze Rangers 1

Stonehouse Town 2

LIAM GALE struck a late goal to earn third-placed Stonehouse Town the spoils at Rockleaze Rangers.

Earlier, Rangers almost opened the scoring on seven minutes, but town keeper Will Pedrick brought off a great save to deny Marcus Williams. The visitors went ahead on 28 minutes when former Shortwood midfielder Alex Kibble fired the ball into the top corner giving home keeper Lewis Brodie no chance.

Rangers levelled the score in the 60th minute when Mark Ridgeway gave Pedrick no chance from 18 yards. Stonehouse almost got a second on 72 minutes but for a Freddie Short block on the line. Town netted the winner in the 80th minute through Gale's deflected strike.

The Magpies travel to Hanham on Saturday in the GFA Cup.
