they were able to close out the game, albeit with some dangerous late chances for Rangers.

FC Nelson head coach Paul Brydon says the decision to start with a slightly different formation was a tactical one, knowing Rangers were coming over the hill needing a win.

“I played two wing-backs and both are very quick and very good defenders. Tim Newson on the left had a great game.

“I’m so proud of the boys this year. We had a big squad, we used boys from the two community teams. . . and the young players who have come through have been really good.”

While the decision to change formations did lead to more chances, Paul says it was a “great effort” from the whole squad to come away winners.

“Full credit to Marlborough, they kept us honest.

“Even when they scored, we didn’t panic.”

Rangers coach Wolfgang Waechter thought they had almost scored too early, giving FC Nelson over 25 minutes to answer back.

“You know, the longer the game goes on without them scoring, they’ll get a bit nervous because all it takes is one goal.”

While FC Nelson are already out of contention for the Price Charity Cup, their season may continue as they look for promotion into the Southern League alongside Nelson Suburbs.

“Now the club decides if we go for it,” Paul says.
