PHC 3 Ireland Rangers 1

Undefeated PHC Zebras galloped over visiting Ireland Rangers yesterday at Southampton Oval to maintain their hot pursuit of leaders Somerset.

Zebras erupted for three goals in the first half of a scrappy match played in light drizzly conditions.

Veteran striker Kenny Mills scored two goals after young Blenn Bean had given Zebras a 17th-minute lead.

Jonathan Bean pulled one back for Ireland Rangers who came crashing back to earth following last weekend?s inspiring 4-2 win over St.George?s.

Referee Tracy Adams had a busy afternoon, reaching into his pocket on three occasions to caution Rangers? Wendell Anderson and Bean, while Zebras? Stephen Astwood was also carded for unsportsmanlike conduct.
