I'll leave it to the combatants to talk about it. I wouldn't want to say it was a bad game unless someone from the teams agreed.

Just caught the game over at Hillcrest. A fairly even first half for the most part, although Frankie should have put the Olympics ahead on a breakaway opportunity early on in the game.
Chances for both teams early in the second half, and then Rangers were gifted the lead when the O's keeper let in a howler...ball skidded through his legs I believe, but can't be sure as it was at the far end of the pitch from my vantage point.
Both teams had a player sent off not long after the goal as one of Ranger center backs reacted to a poor challenge by a VO player...small scuffle with some pushing & shoving, but nothing serious.
Rangers carried on keeping possession, and with VO's beginning to press forward for the equalizer, they left themselves exposed at the back. It finally caught up with them when Chiasson was sent clear and put the ball in the net on his second attempt to make it 2-0. VO's scored with about 7-8 minutes left, but never looked likely to get the equalizer.
A solid performance by Rangers...interesting to watch the VO players react to facing a bit of adversity for the first time...things look like they'll remain tight at the top in Div. 1 'A'.

A gritty performance by both teams on the day. I think Wickham were lucky not to be down by 2-3 goals at the half, but our strikers didn't have their shooting boots on today.Captain Shamrock said:Club Ireland 1 Wickham 1

Burnro said:Our first came from the spot after CIC turned his marker and dribbled the byline, only to be chopped down by an embarrassed defender.
Burnro said:I was surprised with the lack of players/depth on the Wickham sidelines, so our rematch may well be different with both of us having our full squads out...looking forward to the replay already...
