When the run of home matches has come, the team have been unable to take advantage and now find themselves looking over their shoulder at a number of clubs in the relegation zone.

Whilst Newark & Sherwood are seeking voluntary relegation and sit above us in the league, Brett Whaley and his team will want to take no chances and stay outside of the current bottom 2 places.

Beating their hosts tomorrow would go a long way to keeping that trap door at bay.

But Rangers have won 2 matches in the league in 2026 and those against teams at the top of the division, and at home.

Last time the sides met was the opening day when you would have got long odds on both these sides being in a dogfight come the end of March. Byron Adiado (pictured below scoring his goal) was the difference.

Ashby have had mixed form of late losing at home to Newark Town on Saturday but beating Grantham the week before. Prior to that they had lost three but as with Rangers had beaten top of the table Sherwood Colliery in late winter.

The margin for error for both sides is now tight as a result of Blackstones starting to pick up points. Wishing the Management, Players and travelling support a safe journey and fingers crossed a turn of luck for Deeping.
