Thornbury retook the lead on twenty nine minutes when the Rangers defence stopped thinking Craig Lancastle was offside and he ran on to slip the ball past Burgess.
Rangers levelled again on fifty five minutes when James Kenway lobbed keeper Shepherd from the edge of the eighteen yard box. Rangers then took the lead as James Fitzgerald out paced the Thornbury defence to make it three – two.
