that they could have taken all three points with Deeping having the better chances.

With Spencer Tinkler suspended for Rangers a reorganisation was required and skipper David Burton-Jones reverted to central defense with Dan Flack taking over his midfield position and both combined with Joe Braithwaite and Ben Lewis respectively to give a disciplined performance, particularly in the first half when they playing into a strong wind.

Jake Newman and Mark Pryor combined well for the home side with Newman sending in a fierce cross that had Flack at full stretch to make a good blocking challenge, a slip by Burton-Jones let Newman free and he tried a shot to the near post that visiting keeper Dan Bircham did well to get to.

Deeping adapted to the conditions, and being prompted by Burton-Jones were play a good passing game as both sides struggled to ovecomne their opponents defenses.

Rangers' Tom Smith sent a ball over the home defense for Ian Ward to collect and he saw his lobbed effort over the advancing Shaun Allen only for the retreating Joe Rich to clear in the 6 yard box.

Lewis then collected a home clearance to strike goalwards to see the ball collected by Jordan Avis who controlled and shot himself but wide of the post.

The Doughboys took the lead on 40 minutes, Newman won the ball on the right and sent a cross field ball to Pryor who released Rashid Koriya free down the left, his cross was tipped away by Bircham into the path of Tom Smith whose attempt to make the clearance looped into the empty goal.

With the half itno additional time Deeping drew level - Charlie Coulson dribbled his way into the home box, was challenged and fell and with the home side appealing for a hand ball the ball was cleared into the path of Dan Flack who fired through the home defense and past Allen (45+2)

This was deserved for a Rangers side that played the conditions well in the half.

Half Time - Wellingborough Town 1 Deeping Rangers 1

Deeping started the second half brightly and a clearance from Smith found Lewis who released Matt Carter down the right where his cross was met by sub Jamie Graham only to see his touch wide of the post.

Rangers took the lead on 67 minutes, sub Mohammed Hamid wriggled through a couple of challenges for free Jezz Goldson-Williams into the box, his first shot was parried out by Allen and this time Goldson-Williams made no mistake slipping the ball under the home keeper as he attempted to block.

This brought the game to a higher tempo and home forward Newman was prominent, he won the ball from Carter and freed Jon Mitchell who shot wide, Newman had a shot on the turn straight at Bircham.

Deeping should have increased their lead when a clearance from Smith found Graham in behind the home defense, he advanced into the box to see his shot blocked by the advancing Allen.

Wellingborough had good chnace when Dan Spaughton collected a pass and blasted goalwrads that had Bircham scrambling to svae at the foot of the post.

A Hamid free kick found Braithwaite with a free head at the far post but was off target and almost immediatley a defensive slip saw Newman free who made no mistake from the edge of the box shooting past Bircham on 82 minutes

Newman another half chance as his shot flashed across the face of the goal and wide of the far post.

With full time almost arrived, Coulson played a ball into the home box, Rangers' Scott Ginty let the ball through for Smith to pull back to find Graham free in the 6 yard box only to see his touch high over the bar.

A second draw between the two sides this season - and it is difficult not to say that it was fair result although the better chances to win were with the visitors.
