Deeping win through to the LFA Senior Trophy Final

Match Scribe12 Feb 2017 - 21:06

Rangers took on the Poachers in this LFA Senior Trophy Semi-Final tie looking to not repeat the result of last season’s encounter when Town edged the contest.

The match was scattered with bouts of descending mist that made viewing difficult for the spectators.

Town had the first chance as Janson Pinner supplied Danny Maddison whose cross was met by the arriving Curtis Revell, his touch rebounding from the post into the hands of home keeper Richard Stainsby, Poachers skipper Ricahrd Ford saw a snap shot high over the bar.

Rangers had a good move that almost broke the deadlock, Tom Smith picked out Dan Schiavi, he cut inside and fed Charlie Coulson who returned to the free Schiavi to cross tantilisngly through the visitors gioal area without any one getting a touch

It was Deeping who scored first, David Burton-Jones fed Scott Coupland his touch played in Smith to cross to the near post where Scott Mooney nipped in before the defender to steer the ball inside the far post on 18 mins.

The home side were now having the better of things, Jason Kilbride saw his shot pushed away by Poachers keeper James Lambley, Burton-Jones robbed Maddison to feed Mooney, his swivel and shot was wide – Burton-Jones won well and thrust forward, a 1-2 with Coupland allowed him space to drive a cross that saw a combimed effort to block and scramble away.

Boston levelled in additional time, Jordan Nuttell pounced on a loose ball and turned to drive over the advanced Stainsby from 22 yards (45+2mins)

Half Time – Deeping Rangers 1 Boston Town 1

The second half was a tight affair as both sides were determined not to give the advantage to their opponent.

Rangers saw a free kick cleared to Town’s Maddison, he broke from his own half to reach deep into Deeping territory where his passed was deflected into the path of Nuttell whose shot was wide of the target.

The decisive goal came on 80 mins, a Rangers corner was cleared out if the biox to be retrieved by Henry Dunn, quick feet allowed him to pick out the free Jason Kilbride to shoot beyond the dive of Lambley and inside the far post.

Town were nearly level, Maddison’s pass allowed Jack Dykes to touch forward where Jordan Tate touched the ball past the advancing Stainsby but wide of the goal, at the other end Mooney collected, ran round the Boston defence to shoot missing the by the far post and the arriving Schiavi.

A tough contest, but it is Rangers who meet Cleethorpes Town in the Final (on Tuesday April 11th at Sincil Bank, Lincoln) – just about right on the night and merited for Mike Goode and his team.
