Our Opponents
Deeping Rangers FC was founded in 1966, starting in the Peterborough & District Leagues. They joined the UCL in 1999, narrowly missing promotion from Division One in their first season, but they then won the league the following season, and have remained in the Premier Division for the past 14 seasons. They won the UCL Premier in 2006-07 – see here for more details of their history. Their manager is Tuncay Korkmaz, who led them to fourth place in the league last season.
Although the Diamonds recorded a 2-1 victory at the Haydon Witham Stadium at the start of February, Diamonds fans will remember that last season they were unable to follow up an away victory with anything from the return game at the Dog & Duck.
