The win solidified Rangers’ position on the league standings. They are now 12 points above Mighty Black Pool FC who are second on the table. 

East End Lions head coach Raymond G Hunter who became the only coach to win against Bo Rangers in over 1400 days stated that despite the disappointing result, the performance of his boys was good. 

Bo Rangers FC believes that they will seal the league title with an unbeaten record, and mark their second title in a row. The Rangers will be crowned champions if they win their next four games.
