Sawtry Colts 1 Deeping Rangers
1
Deeping returned to action after a weeks break, the first half performance was a lack lustre affair from Deeping as Abbey raced in to a two goal lead, Rangers just couldn’t get going losing possession easily and putting themselves on the back foot. After a dressing down at half time Rangers started the second half the much better side as they worked hard and played their passing game, the reward soon came as skipper Jacob Parkin chased a through ball and tucked it passed the home keeper. Deeping were now in full flow and chances came and went the best of which fell to Jack Davenport, who fired over the bar from close range, then after a sweeping move Michael Carter raced through to grab a well deserved equalizer, Deeping were dominant now but couldn’t find the winner. Assistant Manager Martin Bond commented “If the lads would have played like that first half they would have taken all three points, but after being two down at the break you have to be fairly happy to come away with a point”.
After a two week break Rangers returned to action in the league against Sawtry, on a blustery day at Outgang Road. Deeping dominated the first half without really threatening the score sheet; chances went begging with the Deeping forwards taking the wrong option time after time, the game went into half time at 0-0. The second half was again all Deeping but this half saw Lewis Renwick come off the bench to make an immediate impact on the game, he forced a corner from which former Sawtry player Jamie Cashin fired home to put Rangers ahead, Deeping grew in confidence and where soon two up when Jack Davenport doubled the lead from close range. Callum Fox then fired home from the edge of the box with a sweet strike, It was left to another former Sawtry player Sam Redhead to fire home from an acute angle to finish the scoring
A performance of grit and determination saw Deeping through this game against a very strong Wittering side who were unbeaten at home before today, it was Wittering who made the early running and they took the lead after Deeping failed to clear from a corner. Deeping then began to press and were rewarded when Jacob Parkin slipped clear of his marker to finish well from the edge of the box, Wittering came back strongly and went back in to the lead after a neat finish, but to Deepings credit they took hold of the game and in a spell of 15mins went 4-2 up with Parkin grabbing two more to get his hat trick and Callum Fox fired home a superb free kick. The second half was back to the wall time for Deeping as Wittering had all the play in Deepings half until a quick break away saw skipper Jacob Parkin hit his fourth and Deepings fifth, the game was by no means over though as Wittering battered on the Deeping goal and but for some superb defending from the back four of Luke Smith, Jack Davenport, Jamie Cashin and Adam Bowers and some heroics from keeper Dan Smith, Wittering could have been straight back in the game, it took a dubious decision by the referee, who awarded a penalty for them to do that and then with five minutes remaining Wittering struck again, but Deeping held on with heroics from them all, even after the ref played an astonishing 12 minutes injury time, A great team performance capped with individual performances especially from Sam Redhead who was magnificent in the centre of midfield and Jamie Cashin at the heart of the defence.
Deeping suffered a home defeat against the panthers on a terrible day for playing football, playing against a strong wind in the first half Deeping found themselves 3 down by the break, Deeping had there fair share of chances in the first half but failed to put the ball in to the net. The second half was the same story chance after chance going begging for Deeping, finally Parkin netted with a great effort from the edge of the box, With Deeping going all out to get in the game they were caught out on the break and that ended there hopes.
All in all as disappointing display after a great display the previous game.
Deeping enjoyed there biggest win of the season at home to a spirited Rippingale side, Deeping dominated the first half an hour of the game and were rewarded with a flurry of goals, with first goals for Deeping from Sam Redhead and Jamie Cashin and first of the season from the impressive Chris Clarkson who was outstanding in the centre of midfield, there were also goals for Parkin and a rare headed goal from Callum Fox, Deeping’ s second half display wasn’t as good but the lads did a professional job and scored some fantastic goals, Dan Smith a second half substitute scored two with classy efforts. Skipper Jacob Parkin helped himself to four, and Jack Davenport hit a 25 yard screamer, Clarkson also added to his tally, To Rippingale’s credit they never let there heads drop and were rewarded with two second half goals. This was a great way to end the year for the lads, who have come a long way since the start of the season.
Deeping travelled to
league leaders Holbeach with growing confidence that they can compete with the
teams at the top of the table. Deeping dominated the opening stages of the game
and went ahead through a Callum Fox penalty after a push by the Holbeach
defender, then after a defensive mix up Holbeach drew level, all the chances
after this came at the other end but Deeping failed to add to there tally until
a Fox free kick was not held by the keeper and the excellent Michael Carter
slotted home to go in to the break 2-1 up.
The second half saw
Holbeach start the quicker and they were soon level despite an excellent save
from keeper Dan Smith, Deepings heads did not drop and they were soon back in
front when Fox netted his second, soon after it was 4 when Parkin netted after
a fine run, Fox then wrapped the game up with his third and Deepings fifth to
seal an emphatic victory which could of easily been by a much wider margin.
A great team
performance by every one involved.
Deeping made the long journey to Boston and left with nothing against the league leaders, Deeping had the best chances in the first half through Sam Redhead and Jamie Cashin both going close to breaking the deadlock. With 20 minutes remaining Boston went ahead after a world class save from Dan Smith, came back out and Boston’s forwards reacted quicker to the rebound than the Deeping defenders. Boston then wrapped the game up in the dying minutes with a killer second goal.
Deeping produced a fine second half performance to gain a credible point against a good Oundle team. Deeping went behind after 15 minutes after a quick break from the pacy Oundle winger. Deeping produced their best move of the first half which led to Callum Fox scoring at the far post brining them back on to level terms.
The second half saw some much better football from Rangers, but they did fall behind again after a shot from the edge of the box found the bottom corner of the net.
Deeping kept pressing forward and were rewarded after a great through ball from Lewis Renwick found substitute Dan Smith who fired home with a cool finish.
Rangers kept pressing forward and only the crossbar kept the ball out after a thunderous effort from Smith had the keeper well beaten, further chances fell to Deeping the best of which went inches wide from skipper Parkin.
Another good team performance saw Deeping record their second win in as many weeks, the game started with both teams enjoying possession of the ball. The first goal of the game came from a well struck Callum Fox free kick that the keeper failed to hold and Jack Davenport reacted quickly to put the ball in to the net. Abbey got back on to level terms when Deeping lost the ball in midfield and some poor defending let in the pacy Abbey forward who slotted the ball past Dan Smith, Abbey then had another chance this time Smith produced an outstanding save. Then Deeping pressed forward again and after a goal mouth scramble the ball fell to Dan Smith who fired home from 12 yards to put Deeping back in front, Smith then grabbed his second of the game after some fantastic work by skipper Jacob Parkin, After the interval Deeping increased their lead again when skipper Parkin finished well after a great run. Abbey then scored a consolation goal in the last minute.
Deeping recorded their
first win of the season with a good team performance. Deeping started well and
had a lot of early possession, and should have been awarded a penalty when Michael
Carter looked to of been brought down in the area but the referee thought
otherwise. Deeping continued to press forward and were awarded a free kick,
Callum Fox stepped up and dispatched the ball into the top of the net to take
the lead.
The lead did not last long though when Deeping failed to clear from a corner and Rippingale capitalized to score the equalizer. After the half time interval though Deeping dominated the game Fox went close again and substitute Renwick started to cause all sorts of mayhem with some mazy runs. Deepings defence was marshalled very well by Cashin And Davenport With keeper Smith not having a save to make in the second half, Sam Redhead and Chris Clarkson were winning the battle in the midfield, with time running out it was left to skipper Jacob Parkin to latch on to a through ball and fire a left foot shot past the keeper and to seal a well earned victory.
The new season kicked off at Outgang road against a strong Boston outfit, after a fairly even opening quarter Deeping fell behind after failing to clear from a corner, Deeping had some good chances themselves and were always in the game until a great goal from the visitors, which all but finished the game off. Still the lads pressed hard without much luck, and in the final few minutes an own goal from a corner sealed Deepings fate.
The first away game of the season saw a debut for Jamie Cashin who settled in nicely with his new team-mates. Deeping started the stronger team and had the majority of the play, Chris Clarkson was thwarted from scoring by a great save from Oundles keeper and Callum Fox went close to opening the scoring when rounding the keeper to having his effort cleared off the line, going into the second half the lads kept up the tempo and playing some slick passing football, then against the run of play Oundle scored from a shot on the edge of the box. Deeping kept pressing forward but were unable to find the equalizer they deserved.
Rangers made the perfect start in this encounter going ahead to a well taken Callum Fox goal, after some slick passing, but just before half time Deeping were caught napping and Holbeach levelled. After the interval Deeping were again found out 30 seconds into the second half to a simple goal.
To the lads credit they out played the visitors but again failed to get back in to the game. Deeping had three new faces in the team Sam Redhead, Nathan Fielding and Stephen Coles all the lads did very well on their league debut.

Rangers looking for there first points of the season made a slow start and conceded early after a free kick to the visitors. After going behind though Deeping started to get a hold in midfield with Clarkson and Redhead starting to win tackles and some good passing which soon told on the game with Fielding finishing smartly after latching on to a good through ball from Redhead, the game was pretty evenly matched until a free kick was awarded outside the box for a nothing challenge, this was to prove costly as Deeping failed to clear and went behind again. Deeping had chances to level but could not make them count, then in the final minute Dan Smith struck a tremendous shot that beat the keeper but struck the bar.
