“The game started and it was end to end. Unfortunately, the Selsey took a one goal lead in to half time. Probably what they deserved.

“As the second half started we were still in the dressing room and didn’t look up for it. Selsey managed to score another three before Ross Smith scored what could be goal of the season.

Rangers travel to Hailsham Town on Saturday. Stevens’ men are bottom of the table, joint on seven points with Mile Oak. Hailsham Town are currently eighth.
