having seen several good chances go begging.

The visitors were first to show as Phil Stebbing pounced on a loose ball, made his way into the home box to see his effort blocked by Dan Flack, Dan Cotton collected a loose clearance to cross dangerously into the Deeping box where Flack was on hand again to quell the threat.

Rangers started to threaten, Dan Schiavi’s long range free kick took a deflection of a defender into the hands of Yaxley custodian Ollie Sutton, Charlie Coulson won the ball from Wayne Morris, advanced into the Cuckoo’s box before shooting weakly at Sutton.

Schiavi’s low free kick was touched by Coulson into the path of David Burton-Jones who in turn set up Henry Dunn but the shot was straight at Sutton – Dunn turned provider, his delightful pass split the visitors defence to find Schiavi, the cross going through the goal area evading everyone.

Half Time – Deeping Rangers 0 Yaxley 0

The second half was more of the same, Scott Mooney turned his defender to send a pass to free Tom Waumsley down the right, his cross was met at the far post by Coulson whose attempt to find the net of his chest only found the hands of Sutton.

Yaxley’s Rob Hughes’ free kick to the back post was met by Morris only to find home keeper Richard Stainsby as the visitors had a rare sight of the home goal.

Rangers were close again as Waumsley delivered a cross to the middle of the goal to find Coulson but a poor touch saw the ball fall for Sutton, Sutton was Yaxley saviour again when he made a good save as Dunn’s sublime pass slipped through the visitors defence to set up Flack shoot for Sutton to make a fine save.

The unusually quiet Dan Cotton cut in from the left to curl a shot wide of the far stick for the Cuckoo’s, at the other end Mooney’s neat flick allowed Tom Smith sight of the Yaxley goal but the shot was wide of the post.

A game of little goal mouth action saw the points shared – Rangers now look in a fight with Desborough and Eynesbury for 2nd and 3rd positions in the table as the season’s end gets closer
