Remarkable comeback by Deeping as Dan marks farewell game with a goal, a year without defeat for Pinchbeck. Peterborough Northern Star continue to shine, Bourne bounce back impressively, wins for March and Holbeach
Deeping were 3-1 down with 10 minutes to play. Scott Mooney then missed a spot-kick, but atoned that for that with two goals in the final four minutes either side of a fine Dan Schiavi strike. It was Schiavi’s final appearance for the club as he is moving to the United States.
Luke Andersen had scored Deeping’s goal in the first-half. Deeping are sixth in the table, but behind local rivals Holbeach United (third) and Pinchbeck United (second) who also secured impressive victories.
