After fighting back from two goals down to beat Somerset on Saturday, Rangers are five points clear atop the Northern Championship with two games left, so need just one point against Riverside before hosting second-placed Devonport .

Having dismissed title talk all season, Fulton's men are suddenly embracing the prospect.

"You take things one game at a time and this week is that game," he said. "You can't say we're just playing for three points because we're not."

However, Fulton is just as proud of the club's record across three other competitions which has seen it win 12 out of the last 12 matches from fixtures at Devonport, Riverside and Somerset.

"A lot of people look at the club now and are happy with the decision we made," he said of the NPL Tasmania withdrawal.

Rangers look likely to finish second in the reserves competition already won by Launceston United, and also in the under-18s behind runaway winners Launceston City who have won 18 and drawn one of their 19 fixtures.

However, the tightest finish will be in the women's Northern Championship where Riverside lead Rangers by three points from a game more with the sides on identical records of 81 goals for and 11 against and due to play each other on Saturday.
