Ryan Bail's eight-goal effort in Ballarat and District Soccer Association

Warrnambool Rangers' Ryan Bail can now lay claim to that feat after a scoring blitz against Ballarat and Soccer Association opponent Horsham on Sunday.

Bail kicked eight of the Rangers' nine goals in the 9-0 drubbing at Jones Oval.

Coach and goal keeper Cam Pyke said Bail worked as part of a well-oiled attack.

"He had a day out and it was actually his birthday so it was a perfect birthday present," he said.

"He got on the end of a lot of hard work from a lot of the other players.

"He was class when he got the opportunity. The ball managed to find its way to him and he was at the right spot at the right time. He really worked hard to make it happen.

"He picked up on some opposition mistakes. Him, Clinton Demartin and Isaac Welsh all played really well up forward."

Pyke hopes Bail can carry his red-hot accuracy into the Rangers' next match - a top-of-the-table showdown against Sebastopol.

"They have had one loss but played an extra game than us and we're still yet to lose," he said.

"It's been building to this kind of game for a long time.

"We are really looking forward to it.

"These are the sort of games you want to play every week if you can, the really high-pressure, intense games because that is when you really see what you're made of and if you're as good as you think you are."
