This is a big game!

Local rivals Grantham Town have made a fast start in UCL North since their relegation last season.

With lots of new faces (including Dan Dougill and Josh Moreman who played for Rangers last season) on and off the park, this new look Gingerbreads side will be a real challenge.

Deeping have been without a large number of players (listed elsewhere on the site) recently and there aren't too many positive signs that a number of the 8 will be back this weekend.

There will be a decision on goalkeeper to be made and how the back four will shape up. The positive there is Harvey Robertson was back on the bench last weekend.

Lewis Arber and Jacob Goodley are still missing from the midfield but Jonny Lockie should return from his suspension.

With Skegness on the horizon next midweek, this is a brilliant period of derby football for the first team and despite the challenges squad wise, we will all be looking forward to this one.
