No Keston Rangers player recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher.
The scoreline’s shape matters: Epstle Wanderers led by two at half-time, added two more soon after the restart and finished with a pair in the closing minutes. Keston Rangers had more possession, more corners and greater pass accuracy, but those advantages did not translate into enough attacking volume to trouble the visitors consistently. With 14 shots to three and six goals to none, the match was not a close contest disguised by a late flourish; the late goals simply made an already clear difference impossible to overlook. Epstle Wanderers leave with the 0-6 win, while Keston Rangers are left with a possession figure that cannot, on its own, make the afternoon look kinder.
