Deeping Rangers into semi-final, great comeback win for Yaxley, but Peterborough Sports are beaten

Cameron Johnson scored twice for Deeping Rangers at Shepshed Dynamo.

Shepshed have only lost one league match this season, but two goals from Cameron Johnson made a last-gasp Dynamo goal an irrelevance.

Deeping will play at Rothwell Corinthians in the semi-final.

Blackstones lost ground on the leaders in UCL Division One. Player-boss Lee Clarke fired Stones in front in the first-half, but they went down 2-1 at St Andrews. Whittlesey Athletic play at Huntingdon tonight (January 8)

Yaxley pulled off a fantastic comeback in Division One Central of the Southern League. They were 2-0 down at half-time at Barton Rovers, but goals from Joel Earps, Dan Jarvis and Sam Bennett gave Yaxley a second successive 3-2 win.

Jarvis has recently moved to Yaxley from Deeping.

But Peterborough Sports were beaten 2-0 at Barwell in a scruffy Premier Division match and dropped to fourth.
