Michael Goode’s men made it nine wins in a row in all competitions with a 3-0 romp at Wellingborough Town in the United Counties Premier Division yesterday (January 26). That was a seventh straight top-flight success for Deeping who are third, 10 points behind leaders Daventry with two matches in hand. Daventry surprisingly dropped points to lowly Rothwell Corinthians yesterday.

Dan Flack fired Deeping in front from the penalty spot in the first-half at Wellingborough with Dan Jarvis and Dan Schiavi netting after the break.
