The home side started well but found themselves one down on 4 mins, a Rangers attack was broken up with Oadby clearing to Carlton Beardmore on halfway, he averted the challenge of Luke Hunnings to advance and send a cross field ball to find Sam Burton in the home box, his run was ended by Richard Stainsby’s foul and Burton stepped to send Stainsby the wrong way from the penalty spot,

Rangers were rocked but fought to get a hold of the game, Dan Schiavi’s neat flick allowed Scott Mooney into a shooting position, his shot being saved by the legs of Oadby keeper Adam Fletcher-Warrington.

The equaliser came on 17 mins, Schiavi's sublime outside of the foot pass through the heart of the Poachers defence was collected by Scott Mooney who drove the ball across the goal into the far corner.

Home skipper David Burton-Jones’ driving run from half way saw him find Mooney, his chip dink was close to giving Rangers the lead except Poachers defender Lynas King got back to clear with inches to spare.

Deeping made the breakthrough on 28 mins, Henry Dunn won and drove at the visitors, his ball towards Mooney was not dealt with by King to allow Scott Mooney to collect and calmly slide the ball past Fletcher-Warrington for 2-1,

The home side were now dominant, Hunnings met Schiavi’s corner to head at Fletcher-Warrington and they increased their advantage on 33 mins, Dunn fed the ball to Scott Coupland, his clever touch released Dan Schiavi in behind the Oadby defenders, a touch to round the keeper allowed him to roll the ball into an empty net.

A rare Poachers raid came as Burton’s swift break into the Deeping half allowed a pass to Jordan Pick, he cut inside to shoot that had Stainsby down smartly to take.

Rangers stretched their lead on 43 mins, an Oadby cross from the left was controlled, under pressure, by Tom Smith in his six yard box, a turn and clearance sent Schiavi darting away down the left, a look up and pass saw Scott Coupland free on the edge of the box, his touch allowed him to round the keeper and slide the ball home.

Before the crowd were settled for second half Deeping increased their lead, within 30 seconds of the restart, as Oadby full back Lewis McLean’s pass was missed by King to be punished by Scott Coupland who placed the ball past Fletcher-Warrington from the edge of the box.

The visitors Tom Bennett fed Pick out wide who saw his drive cross sail through the throng and not get a touch from anyone, Burton’s trickery got him through several challenges only for the ball to run to the home keeper

Rangers sub Jason Kilbride chased a long ball with his touch beating the keeper and bar but he did increase the home tally on 62 mins – Schiavi fed Coupland, his touch found Kilbride whose shot was partially blocked by King only for the ball to loop over the stranded Fletcher-Warrington into the empty net (6-1).

With Deeping well in control they had the opportunity to give youngster Max Fisher his debut for some time as home custodian on 79 mins.

Deeping were not finished yet and further goals came on 87 and 89 mins – Jonny Clay met Schiavi’s corner to head home to make it seven and sub Will Bird netted the eighth after when Coupland beat the offside, got to the goal line to pull back for Bird to tap home.

In the end the early scare was long forgotten as the Clarets added another win to the sequence.
