Brief QPR Official Report
Kevin Gallen was on target, but the R's succumbed to a 3-1 defeat against Crystal Palace Reserves on Tuesday evening.
Trailing to an impressive Eagles outfit at Bromley FC, Gallen put Rangers on terms with a ferocious dead ball strike, but in truth the R's were second best throughout an entertaining Pontins Holidays Combination League fixture.

More Extensive Crystal Palace Match Report
An own goal plus goals from Ryan Hall and Lewis Grabban gave Kit Symons' young side all three points against Queens Park Rangers at Bromley.
Palace took the lead in the 22nd minute as QPR left-back Matthew Hislop put the ball through his own net and despite a Kevin Gallen equaliser Palace scored twice more in a thoroughly deserved victory.
In a lively encounter Palace had the first opportunity through 15-year-old Victor Moses but the England Under 17 international fired over in the first minute. The Hoops hit straight back though, and centre-back Jonathan Munday headed just wide following a corner form the left-hand side.
The away side were causing some anxious moments in the Palace defence from set-pieces but it was Charlie Sheringham who nearly opened the scoring for the home side in the 18th minute but he diverted a header over from Marco Reich's cross.
Then came Hislop's own goal but if there was any justice in the world the goal should have been awarded to youngster Moses. The teenager beat the QPR right-back all ends up before accelerating down the left and curling a brilliantly placed shot past goalkeeper Jake Cole and onto the far post where Hislop was unfortunate to see the ball fly into the net off his thigh.
It didn't take QPR long to equalise as Gallen struck a powerful free-kick past David Wilkinson in the Palace goal. Ten minutes later though, Palace had a free-kick of their own in a similar position at the other end and Hall emphatically thumped the ball past Cole into the QPR net.
In the second-half Palace had further chances to score through Moses, Grabban and Reich on the break but on each occasion wayward shooting or goalkeeper Jake Cole intervened.
Palace eventually grabbed a third in the 77th minute when Grabban followed up Hall's drive, but not before QPR's Romone Rose had clipped the top of the Palace bar with a long-range strike.
Aussie Nick Ward forced Wilkinson to save with his legs late on but Palace never looked in any danger as Michael Kamara and Moses Swaibu marshalled the backline superbly.
