Season 2004/05
6 Feb Deeping Rangers U12s 2 Glinton Utd U12s 2
This clash really was the proverbial game of two halves. Having dominated the first half and forged a two-goal lead, Deeping found themselves struggling to hold on by the end. Deeping opened the scoring in the 12th minute when a corner was only partially cleared by the Glinton defence and from the edge of the area, Jack Davenport, was able to fire home. Just before half time, Deeping further extended their lead when Aaron Mourton skilfully slotted home a cross from the right from close range.
Deeping had played well and deserved their lead but after the break they were faced by a revitalised and determined Glinton team. Glinton took a firm hold of the middle of the park and from there were able to launch a number of strong attacks. Early in the half, they reduced the deficit when Sanderson looped an unstoppable long-range lob into the Deeping net. Glinton continued to press and with only six minutes to go, they managed to get the equaliser that their performance deserved. Rippon found time and space and was able to fire home from long distance, giving Gait in the Deeping goal no chance. Overall, a fair result for two strong and very evenly matched sides. Man Of The Match: Jack Davenport
30 January Deeping Rangers U12s 7 Crowland Juniors U12s 3
Fox Rocks Whittlesey
Having been knocked out of the League Cup only two weeks ago by Whittlesey, it was sweet revenge for Deeping Rangers in this weekend’s league encounter. Whilst the final score-line suggested a comfortable victory for the home side, the truth was something rather different . It wasn’t until the last 8 minutes that three late goals finally secured the victory for Deeping against a battling Whittlesey team, who refused to accept defeat. Twice Deeping held a two goal lead, only to be pegged back to a single goal by Whittlesey. Baker for Whittlesey opened the scoring but two goals by Callum Fox and a goal by Aaron Mourton gave Deeping a 3-1 half-time lead.
Further goals by Rippon and Hubbard for Whittlesey and for Deeping by Ben McClarnon brought the Outgang Rd. visitors within a goal of the home side with only 10 minutes of the game remaining. Determined to avenge the Cup defeat, Rangers continued to attack and goals from Jane and two more from Fox, completed his personal 4-goal haul and Deeping’s scoring. Man Of The Match: Callum Fox
Deeping Rangers: Dan Smith, Jacob Parkin, Tommy Orbell, Sam Pickering, Ben McClarnon, Adam Bowers, Jamie Bowd, Aaron Mourton, Jacob Smitheringale, James Jane, Jack Davenport (Capt.), Jacob McClarnon and Callum Fox
16 January Deeping Rangers U12s 6 Crowland Juniors U12s 1
Deeping Rangers extended their unbeaten run in the league to seven games with a comprehensive 6-1 victory over Crowland Juniors at Outgang Rd. on Sunday. With recent signing Adam Bowers making his first start at right back and Tommy Orbell switching to left back, the Deeping defence were strong and always had the upper hand. However, it was in attack where the damage was really done. Early strikes by Aaron Mourton and Callum Fox saw Deeping go two up in just two minutes. Further goals from Ben McClarnon and his brother Jacob gave the hosts a 4-0 half-time lead. Not content with four, Rangers wasted no time at all after the break. Goals from Mourton and a superbly executed lob by Fox within seven minutes of the restart, gave them a comfortable six goal cushion. To their credit, Crowland didn’t stop fighting and their efforts were rewarded halfway through the second half when Browning was given time and space to run at the Deeping goal. He took full advantage of the opening and scored. Deeping were given the chance to extend their lead just before the end when they were awarded a penalty, but Aaron Mourton saw his well struck shot rebound off of the post to safety. Man Of The Match: Adam Bowers
Deeping Rangers: Steffan Gait, Jacob Parkin, Tommy Orbell, Sam Pickering, Ben McClarnon, Dan Smith, Adam Bowers, Aaron Mourton, Jacob Smitheringale, James Jane, Jack Davenport (Capt.), Jacob McClarnon and Callum Fox
December 19 Spalding Athletic U12s 2 Deeping Rangers U12s 2
This clash between the second and third placed teams in Division 1 promised to be a hugely entertaining game and it certainly didn’t disappoint. Both teams gave it their all, neither wanting to concede valuable points to the other. It was Spalding who took the lead after just 10 minutes and when they scored their second soon after halftime, their hold on the game seemed unassailable. That was without accounting for the guts and determination that has been bred into the Deeping Rangers team. Even when decisions weren’t going their way, they didn’t let their heads drop or consider themselves to be out of the game.
It wasn’t until three minutes from time that Deeping managed to pull a goal back. A perfect cross from Jacob Smitheringale on the left found substitute Dan Smith racing in at the far post to beat the impressive and until then impenetrable, Stewart England, in the Spalding goal. Not satisfied with a consolation goal, Deeping continued to pressurise the now edgy Spalding defence and were rewarded for their efforts in injury time when a ball was only partially cleared and fell to Ben McClarnon. Ben unleashed an excellent dipping shot from 25 yards, which gave the keeper no chance of stopping at all and levelled the game at 2-2.
After the game Rangers manager, Andy Pickering said “I really look forward to our matches against Spalding. They’re always fiercely contested but evenly balanced encounters. They are an excellent team and I tend to use them as the yardstick by which we can measure our progress. In the past, Spalding have always had the upper hand, albeit usually only by the odd goal. Today was the closest yet and I must admit that I am rather disappointed that we didn’t get the win. We had two goals questionably ruled out and when clean through on goal in the first half, we were awarded a free kick when advantage ought really to have been played. But having said that, Spalding had two chances cleared off the line! Overall, I am absolutely delighted with my team. I really couldn’t have expected anything more from them.” Man Of The Match: Jacob Smitheringale (Deeping Rangers)
Deeping Rangers: Steffan Gait, Jacob Parkin, Tommy Orbell, Sam Pickering, Ben McClarnon, Dan Smith, Adam Bowers, Jamie Bowd, Aaron Mourton, Jacob Smitheringale, James Jane, Jack Davenport, Jacob McClarnon, Callum Fox
12 December Deeping Rangers U12s 2 Bushfield Park U12s 1
SWEET REVENGE
It was a case of sweet revenge for Deeping Rangers Under 12s on Sunday in their game against Bushfield Park. In the first game of the season, Deeping suffered the heartbreak of an injury time equaliser by Bushfield to rob them of victory in a match that they had dominated for large periods. How ironic it was that the Deepings winner on Sunday came in the third minute of injury time! Deeping had led the game from the very first minute, when the impressive Jacob Smitheringale, fired home from the edge of the box. Bushfield refused to allow that early set-back to effect them and they battled relentlessly to get back into the game, putting Deeping under great pressure. Unfortunately, for them though they found Deepings keeper, Steffan Gait, in superb form. Gait, who was well supported by a determined Deeping defence, led by their captain, Jack Davenport, pulled off a series of top class saves. However, Deeping were unable to prevent Bushfield’s striker, Rolte, getting a well taken equaliser in the 12th minute of the second half. The game remained on a knife-edge and as the two teams continued to match each other throughout and a draw looked likely. That was until Jacob McClarnon was put through in the dying seconds to calmly slot home the winner for the Rangers. Man Of The Match: Steffan Gait
December 5 Deeping Rangers U12s 7 Netherton Utd U12s 1
The late withdrawal due to illness of the Netherton goalkeeper undoubtedly had a big bearing on the outcome of this Under 12s fixture. Finding a stand-in meant reorganising their defence and despite their best efforts, they were unable to keep the goal hungry Deeping side at bay. Deeping’s summer signing, Callum Fox, was undoubtedly the star of the show, scoring an excellent hat-trick and creating the perfect opening for Sam Pickering to drive home his goal from the edge of the area. Two goals from the in-form Jacob McClarnon and another from Deeping’s tenacious winger, James Jane completed the scoring for the home side. Netherton’s only goal came midway through the second half and was scored by last week’s Northants Cup 4-goal hero, Erick Matate. Man Of The Match: Callum Fox
21 November Deeping Rangers U12s 10 Newborough Juniors U12s 2
Deeping Rangers Under 12s continued their impressive recent run of form by putting 10 goals past Newborough Juniors in the second round of the League Cup on Sunday. It wasn’t evident how one sided the score would turn out to be early on when James Jane’s goal after only three minutes for Deeping was cancelled out by Lenton for Newborough just two minutes later. The disappointment of conceding such a quick equaliser seemed to spur the Deeping boys on and from then on, there was only going to be one winner. Goals from Callum Fox, Sam Pickering, Jacob McClarnon, Jacob Smitheringale and a second for James Jane gave them a comfortable 6-1 half-time lead.
Jacob Smitheringale scored his second and Rangers seventh soon after the break and then strikes from Aaron Mourton, Ben McClarnon and ‘super-sub’ Dan Smith completed Deepings 10 goal haul. Newborough’s only reply came through a well taken individual goal from Mangieri, 5 minutes from the end. Deeping will now travel to play Whittlesey Athletic in the Quarter Finals on the 16th January. Man Of The Match: Ben McClarnon – another strong midfield performance capped by an excellent goal
Sunday 14 November. Woodston U12s 2 Deeping Rangers U12s 5
Deeping Rangers Under 12s improved league form continued at the weekend with a convincing 5-2 away win against Woodston. It was the Deeping Rangers number 9, Aaron Mourton , who stood out with a superbly taken hat-trick. Goals from Callum Fox and a long-range drive from Jacob McClarnon completed the scoring for the Deepings boys. Manager Andy Pickering was delighted with the win. He said “It was a physical game on a difficult pitch and I’m really pleased with how the team coped. The whole team played well but I am particularly pleased for Aaron. He works so hard for the team, week in, week out and his 3 goals were a great reward for him”. Man Of The Match: Aaron Mourton
Sunday 7 November Holbeach Utd U12s 0 Deeping Rangers U12s 6
After the heartbreak of conceding an injury time equaliser and then losing the game in extra time in the Lincs. County Cup last weekend, Deeping Rangers Under 12s lifted themselves to gain an emphatic victory away to Holbeach Utd. in the League Cup. It was honours even in the McClarnon household with twins, Jacob and Ben, netting two goals each. Further strikes from Jacob Smitheringale and Callum Fox completed the six goal haul, as the Claret and Blues ran out 6-0 winners. When interviewed after the game, Rangers manager, Andy Pickering, was clearly very proud of his team’s efforts ” Holbeach gave us a tough test, particularly in the first half, but I was delighted with the bounce-back- ability shown by my team after last weeks disappointment. I took the opportunity to make changes to both our formation and personnel today and gave boys who have been substitutes in recent weeks the chance to start. I was really pleased with how well they did and particularly with the performance of Jamie Bowd at right-back. It was his first start of the season and he was arguably the man of the match.” Deeping will now play Newborough Juniors in the next round of the cup on 21st November.
17 October – Whittlesey Athletic 4 Deeping Rangers 4
A somewhat depleted Deeping Rangers Under 12s team took on Whittlesey Athletic at the Manor Leisure Centre, Whittlesey, in what was a fiercely contested and very exciting game. For the second time this season, the young Rangers found themselves seriously behind in a game in which they had had large portions of the play in throughout. 3-1 down at half-time , left them with a mountain to climb to get anything out of a game that they had led through a bravely taken goal by Jacob McClarnon. A change in formation and a belief in their own ability, even after having conceded a fourth goal very early after the break, led to a great comeback.,Goals from Smitheringale, Pickering and man of the match Jane, meant that the points were finally shared.
3 October – After promotion to division one last season Deeping started a tough opening sequences of matches with a 3-3 draw away to Bushfields, then came defeats against Spalding (home), PSV (away), and Yaxley (away), before an impressive first win of the season away to Crowland (3-0).
