Peterborough and District Football League round-up

It was a case of third time lucky for Deeping Rangers Reserves as they defeated Stamford Bels in the Peterborough League Premier Division on Saturday.

The Clarets had lost 3-2 in the first league meeting of the season between the two sides with Bels then winning the Lincolnshire Junior Cup clash last weekend.

However, Rangers reversed their fortunes on Saturday with a 6-3 win at the Haydon Whitham Stadium.

Matt Sparrow had scored Deeping's opening goal before being sent off but Deeping defied the dismissal with Luke Woodhouse and Kee Walker netting further goals before the break.

Will Moxon, Scott Waumsley and Dan Kettleborough were then on target in the second half with Bels replying with goals from Zac Treweek (two) and Tom Edwards.

The only other top flight game to beat the big freeze saw Crowland claim a 1-0 home win over Leverington with Harry Tidswell hitting the decisive strike.

Holbeach United Sports were 3-1 away winners in their Division One match at Glinton & Newborough with Max Howe hitting the Spartans' goal. Cameron Lee scored twice for the Tigers with Rob Shaw also on target.
