There had been no indicators up until early in the second half that anything other than a single goal would settle what had been a decent close encounter.

But when Kimberley scored their first after Deeping players paused expecting a handball decision to go their way (it was accidental so I understand why the referee and linesman did wave play on) it was one way traffic.

Josh Randall had been impressive in taking on players and driving towards the box without a shot to finish, but at the time of the opening goal he was going off injured.

Rather than build pressure, Rangers threw everything at the visitors and were caught out twice late on with breakaway goals that were clinical and effective.

Kimberley were the best side many of us had seen at the Haydon Whitham this season and their second half performance certainly befitted their lofty position in the league. All the best to them for the rest of the season.

As Brett Whaley said in his intervew post match, Rangers need to get back on it Tuesday in the cup against Pinchbeck. The fans still clapped them off at the end despite the late goals taking the match away from them.

The lads will be keen to give them something to celebrate.
