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

Dan Schiavi (right) scored for Deeping Rangers at Cogenhoe in his farewell game for the club.

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.

Jack Smith claimed a hat-trick and Josh Ford also scored as Holbeach hammered Leicester Nirvana 4-0 at Carter’s Park, while Lee Beeson’s goal was enough to see Pinchbeck home at On Chenecks.

Pinchbeck, who won Divison One by a street last season, have now travelled a full calendar year without losing a single league game - a run of 35 matches.

Peterborough Northern Star’s impressive campaign continued with a 2-0 win at Kirby Muxloe thanks to goals from Mark Cox and Christian Le. Star are up to seventh after three Premier Division wins in a row.

In Division One Bourne bounced back from conceding 17 goals in two losses in four days by battling to a 3-2 win at Irchester, but Huntingdon were crushed 12-1 at Anstey Nomads. Scott Waumsley (2) and Scott Dore scored for Bourne.

March secured back-to-back wins in Division One of the Thurlow Nunn Eastern Counties League with an impressive 3-1 success at Lakenheath. Craig Gilles, Gav Cooke and Max Mattless scored the goals.
