The result gives Wimbey Stanley a 3-2 win, with the score reflecting both the hosts’ substantial advantage in attacking volume and Stage Rangers’ ability to punish limited opportunities. Equal possession and nearly equal passing accuracy offer little evidence of a gulf in ball retention; the decisive contrast was what happened when attacks became shots. Wimbey Stanley produced the greater pressure and three goals, while the visitors’ two goals ensured the hosts could not simply coast through the final minutes. Five goals, a red card and a late reply made for an unusually busy accounting exercise, and the home side finished with the important figure still in their favour: 3-2.
