Match Preview

Tuesday 19th January
AFC Kempston Rovers v Deeping Rangers KO 7:45pm

Match Sponsor Mr B Cooper

On Tuesday we welcome Deeping to Hillgrounds Road in The Hinchingbrooke Cup first round Kick-Off 7:45pm.

The Rovers have not played that many home games against Deeping, the first being in the 2001-02 season, and with the Rovers being relegated a couple of times in the 2000’sit is not possible to see a pattern.

Of the 8 league games and 1 cup game played so far the Rovers look to be second best with only 2 wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats, with 1 cup success in the Hinchingbrooke Cup semi-final in the 2011-12 season when a 3-1 win took the Rovers into the final against St Neots Town and, against all the odds, the Rovers won 1-0.

The best win has been that 3-1 cup win whilst the worst defeat was 0-4 in 2007-08, the season the Rovers were relegated after just 3 wins and 3 draws losing 34 games whilst letting in 149 goals in the 40 matches.

We have already beaten Deeping in the league so far this season 2 - 1 let’s hope we can repeat the dose in this Hinchingbrooke Cup game.

Should scores remain level after 90 minutes the match will be decided by kick from the penalty mark.

We would like to thank the match sponsor Mr B Cooper.
