FOOTBALL: Tigers edge out Deeping to reach second semi
GOALS from Jamie Stevens and debutant Ollie Ryan fired Holbeach United to a 2-1 UCL League Cup quarter-final win over Deeping Rangers on Wednesday night.
The Carter’s Park clash was the first game in over two weeks for both sides, with Rangers starting the better. Speedy winger Josh Moreman fired into the side-netting early on, while Spencer Tinkler saw an effort flash wide.
Dan Flack then sent a 20-yard strike wide at the other end, before Holbeach keeper Leigh Overton was forced to turn Ciaran Holt’s effort around the post.
The deadlock was eventually broken on the stroke of half time, defender Stevens rifling home after Andrew Tidswell’s corner was flicked on by Matt Warfield.
It was two on 63 minutes, new signing Ryan marking his bow with a smart close-range finish.
Matty Evans, playing his last game for Deeping before joining the Army, fired home a cracker on 83 minutes to get Tuncay Korkmaz’s men back in contention, but they couldn’t find a leveller.
John Chand’s Holbeach, who are already in the semi-final of the Lincs FA Senior Trophy, will now host either St Ives Town or Bugbrooke St Michaels in the last four.
Tigers: Overton, Griffiths (Ryan), Jackson, Wilson, J Stevens, Flack, Warfield (Treacher), Kennedy, Tidswell, A Stevens, J Allen.
Deeping: Doughty, Evans, Jackson, Tinkler, Burton-Jones, Weston, Holt, Ginty (Barber), Gilbert (Bradbury), Heron, Moreman.

Thursday, February 16, 2012 at 04:35 PMThought it was a fairly even game in which i think Holbeach just shaded it.The ref was very good explaining all his decisions and not card happy.Not quite as fiesty as i thought it would be but still a very good game.Some good defending near the end by Holbeach and a great save from Overs right at the end.Lets hope they can do it in the semi,s.

Thursday, February 16, 2012 at 01:53 PMHolbeach played well and deserved the win. But we gave the ball away too many times. Deeping will miss Matty evans, his goal was awesome, and they almost got close to equalising soon after - then they fell apart and started fouling left, right and centre instead. nice to see a ref not handing out cards for every tackle too.
