NON-LEAGUE: Tulips to take frustrations out on bottom club, derby date at Deeping
The table-topping Tulips led 2-0 against fellow unbeaten side Gresley at the Sir halley Stewart Field on Saturday (September 24) before being pegged back, ultimately by a harshly-awarded last-minute penalty.
The disappointment of that controversial decision was compounded by a red card for Neal Spafford, although the point from a 2-2 draw was still enough to keep Spalding top of the table.

Frecklington said: “We were outstanding against Gresley. It was the most one-sided game we’ve been involved in this season.
“It was frustrating not to win after delivering our best performance of the season, but we can’t dwell on it.
“We will pick ourselves up for tonight.”
Stamford AFC’s season in the same division has yet to take off. The Daniels are 20th in the 22-team league with just one win from six matches and they have a tricky trip to seventh-placed Bedworth this evening.
