DESPITE dominating last season's champions for large periods of the second half, Rangers came away with nothing on Saturday.

Charles Libam pulled one back 10 minutes before the break after a Michael Simpson pullback following good work by Matt Robinson. Soham dominated play from then on, with Simpson and Scott Carter controlling the midfield battle and Libam a constant threat in attack, but just couldn't find an equaliser.
Lowestoft sealed the win in the dying minutes with a goal on the break, but the Soham players
left the field to a standing ovation from the big Lowestoft crowd.
Soham boss Ian Benjamin said: "Few teams come away with anything from Lowestoft after a bad start, but we had a real go at them and were desperately unlucky.
"Their fans know they were a bit fortunate to take the three points."
Soham play Wisbech at home in the Cambs Invitation Cup semi-final on Wednesday.
