Deeping Rangers first team
play in the Premier Division of the Eagle Bitter United Counties League.
In season 2006/7, under
new manager Tuncay Korkmaz, they were league champions. They went 29 league
games before suffering their first defeat. Also for the first time they won
through 2 rounds of the FA Cup. And
manager Tuncay Korkmaz was chosen as the Eagle Bitter United Counties Premier
Division Manager of the season – not bad for his first season in management.
So 2006/7 was a hard act
to follow and the league season ended with a slightly disappointing 7th.
Deeping again progressed through 2 FA Cup rounds before going out at Bury. They
fell at the first hurdle in the Vase and County Cup but made the semi final of
the League Cup losing to the Cup winners. Wins in the final 3 matches of the
season, all in the Hinchingbrooke Cup, resulted in that trophy coming to
Outgang Road and the season ending on a high
For season 2008/9 the
nucleus of the team remains the same but a number of new faces strengthen the squad and we hope to be in
the running to regain the championship title
