It was a busy weekend for Queens Park Rangers with pre-season friendly fixtures set for both Friday and Saturday.
Friday saw us head to Staines Town where a more youthful QPR side picked up a 7-0 nil victory on the evening.

Was a real pleasure last night to be back at my old club @StainesTownFC for a reunion. Feels like a lifetime ago I was there! Pleased to get off the mark for the season, and was a nice touch to get to lead the team out. Wishing them all the luck for the season ahead. https://t.co/lWpbKoTJK4

Saturday’s outing obviously saw a completely different starting XI from the one that played on Friday night as we faced AFC Wimbledon, but QPR still managed to take a 1-0 victory as Luke Freeman scored a last-minute winner at the death of the game.
QPR:
Ingram, Furlong (Kakay 53), Bidwell, Leistner, Lynch (Baptiste 60), Scowen, Manning, Freeman, Eze (Wszolek 60), Washington (Osayi-Samuel 80), Smith (Smyth 60).
Subs: Dieng, Genovesi, Phillips, Oteh, Hamalainen, Williams, Tilt, Felix.
Goal – Freeman (90).
I knew that pink kit would be lucky for us ????????????⚽️
