REICH INSURANCE RANGERS 3 MACCABI MANCHESTER 2nd 8

A four-goal blast from Ben Gould helped Maccabi Manchester 2nd cruise home in an 11-goal thriller against Reich Insurance.

After a close first half, the game came into life in the second period, with Maccabi dominating.

Gould deserves special mention for a classy hat-trick, Daniel Rubinstein and Saul Davies (2) steering Maccabi to a convincing victory.

Reich manager Michael Pine said: "Maccabi are a very good team, mixing youth and pace with a few old heads."

Pine is refusing to hit the panic button after the heavy defeat, and said: "We had a strong start to the season, but have lost our way a bit in the last two games and we need to rediscover our early season form.

"We have a strong squad so I have no doubt in the ability of the squad and them gelling as group."

Indeed Reich Insurance will be looking to get back to winning ways when they play Heaton Park this weekend.
