and having survived, punished their hosts with two late goals to record an emphatic result.

Play was even early on but Deeping broke the deadlock in bizarre fashion on 16 mins, keeper Richard Stainsby’s kick down the pitch saw Scott Mooney harry defender John-Paul Duncliffe, his back pass to keeper Aaron Butcher looked OK but the Yaxley keeper inexplicably missed the ball which rolled the 12 yards into the empty net.

Rangers were buoyed by this, Mooney brought a save from Butcher when he smashed a shot from the edge of the box, another Mooney close range effort saw Butcher parry where Jason Kilbride collected the loose ball to whip in a teasing cross that Duncliffe dealt with well.

The Cuckoo’s Dan Cotton broke down the left, his cross well defended by Dan Flack, Rob Hughes retrieving to release Cotton again to see his cross well defended by Luke Hunnings,

Another Cotton break saw him in behind the visitors defence, he held up waiting for teammates before laying off to Hughes who skied his effort high over the bar.

Mooney rose to meet Dan Schiavi’s curling free kick to head over but was to double Rangers advantage on 44 mins – Stainsby’s goal kick was flicked on for Mooney collect in space, he advanced and from the corner of the box curled an unstoppable shot into the far top corner past the helpless home defence.

Half Time – Yaxley 0 Deeping Rangers 2

Rangers started the second period looking to increase their advantage, Schiavi latched onto a loose ball to drive from 25 yards that had Butcher at full stretch to tip away.

A brilliant ball over the home defence from David Burton-Jones saw Flack into the home box where his run was ended by the challenge of Scott Bogusz – the resultant Scott Coupland penalty being saved by Butcher low down.

Another good Rangers move ended with Charlie Coulson shooting from an acute angle that caused little trouble for Butcher

Yaxley started to apply the pressure, Cotton exchanged passes with Duncliffe to send in a wicked cross that Flack defended well.

The Cuckoo’s got a goal on 73 mins, a scramble in the Deeping goal area was not dealt with and Phil Stebbing was on hand to apply the finish.

Rangers were now under the cosh but they showed the defensive resolve to not allow Yaxley a sight of their goal, Bogusz hitting a long range effort wide.

It was the Clarets who increased their lead on 88 mins, Will Bird’s delightful ball through the home defence allowed Kilbride to collect and smash the ball past the approaching Butcher,

With the home side pushing hard again it was the visitors who struck again, Flack piut in a good blocking challenge, the ball falling for Kilbride, he found Coupland who advanced into the home box before laying off for Mooney to tap home past the efforts of home skipper Wayne Morris on the line.

Rangers first win at Yaxley in four league visits - a very god result to keep the run going!!
