Stonehouse 1-0 Rockleaze

STONEHOUSE Town recovered from last week's defeat to win by a slender margin in their home game against Rockleaze Rangers.

Alex Kibble saw his 30-yard free-kick strike the Rangers post after three minutes, and at the other end Clarke had to be at his best to deny Rangers from a corner.

On 26 minutes, Dan Webb had a chance for Rangers but shot over the bar, then a minute later Clarke saved well form Freddie Short free-kick.

Stonehouse were fortunate to take the lead on 30 minutes when a cross into the box was headed goalwards but took a deflection of Rangers full-back Freddie Short and into the net.

Another free kick for the home side saw Alex Kibble strike the upright for a second time, and then Chris Earle saw his shot tipped over the bar by Rangers keeper Lewis Brodie.

Stonehouse’s Dan Martin then struck the crossbar on 48 minutes.

Williams then went on a mazy run but the final shot was again saved by Brodie.

Rangers' Dan Webb tested home keeper Clarke with a stinging shot but the visitors were unable to break through.
