Manager Steve Devonport was frustrated as his Rangers Ladies side were beaten in the opening league cup encounter.

As with the Cambridge cup tie earlier in the season, Deeping exited on penalty kicks.

Steve told the clubs X page that the Whittlesey side played well and showed great togetherness in their performance, something you would always expect from them.

Rangers were leading 2-1 late on before a corner and bundle allowed the hosts to get level and take the game to the wire.

"We don't become a bad team overnight" Steve added with his team unbeaten in 90 minutes this season and having drawn their league matches.
