Eight minutes into the second spell, Jess Smith extended Rangers’ lead to 3-0.
In the 42nd minute, Ellerslie had their best chance of the game when a desperate tackle prevented a shot, leading to claims for a penalty that were turned away.
Rangers’ dominance was shown in the post-match stats. They had four shots, while Ellerslie had none. Rangers forced four corners, and the Ponies none.
The three-day annual tournament was successfully hosted by Napier City Rovers.
