Stamford were crushed 7-1 at Hyde United in the Evo Stik Northern Premier League last night (September 21).
Remarkably it was Hyde’s first home win of the season and it would have been a far bigger margin of victory, but for the heroics of Daniels’ ‘keeper Richard Knight.
Ryan Robbins scored Stamford’s consolation goal from the penalty spot when the score was 5-0. Five of the Hyde goals arrived in the second-half.
Stamford have now conceded 35 goals in just nine league games. They are currently 21st in the 24-team division.
Spalding are in Division One South action tonight (September 22) when travelling to Basford United. The teams are seventh and eighth respectively - both have 12 points, but the Tulips have a game in hand.
Yaxley and Peterborough Sports are in United Counties League Cup action tonight. Premier Division Yaxley travel to Division One side Raunds, while Division One title favourites Sports host the bottom club from that division Burton Park Wanderers.
Bourne host Division One leaders Stewart & Lloyds tonight and there is county cup action for Holbeach United and Peterborough Northern Star.
Star travel to fellow United Counties Premier Division side Rothwell Corinthians in the first round of the Hillier Cup. Star lost in the final of this competition last season.
