BADSEY Rangers took advantage of a glut of Stratford Alliance postponements to move up to second in the Journal Premier Division.

Neil Milberry, Andy Woodbridge and Nick Burrows were the men to find the net in a 3-0 defeat of lowly FISSC in one of just two matches to beat the freeze.

The other game was a mid-table scrap in Cutler Division Two as Campden Town Reserves won at Quinton with the help of a treble from Jim Hands. Jock Molloy replied for home losers Quinton.
