Stunning strikes sink Spalding

Two stunning strikes sent Spalding United spinning out of the Lincolnshire Senior Cup after a 2-1 semi-final defeat at Stamford on Saturday.
Jordan Smith and David Bell both smashed home cracking efforts to give the Daniels a two-goal interval lead.
Jonny Lockie halved the deficit for the Tulips after the break but, despite an improved second half showing, they were unable to find an equaliser.
Stamford will now face Lincoln United in the final.
Holbeach United booked their place in the next round of the FA Cup after an emphatic 4-1 home win over Swaffham at Carters Park.
New signing Stuart Eason set the Tigers on their way to victory with second half strikes from Jake Clitheroe (2) and Tyler Wright sealing their success before Swaffham bagged a late consolation.
Holbeach are still awaiting news of who they will place in the next round after Kirkby & Pakefield and Walsham-le-Willows drew their match.
They will replay on Tuesday night when Holbeach visit Yaxley in their opening UCL Premier Division match of the season.
Moulton Harrox made a five-star opening to their defence of the Peterborough League Premier Division crown.
The reigning champions ran out 5-0 winners in their first match against Stilton at Broad Lane.
New signings Marcus Parry and Danny Maddison were both among the scorers with Martin Sandall (2) and Joe Townsend also on target.
Pinchbeck conceded a late leveller in their Premier Division opener at Netherton after sharing the spoils in a 3-3 draw.
Ian Dunn’s side had recovered from conceding an early opener to lead 2-1 going into the half-time interval courtesy of goals from Tony Edwards and Nick Bishop.
The hosts pulled level on the stroke of half-time and, although Tom Brooks restored Pinchbeck’s lead, Netherton netted a second equaliser with just five minutes remaining.
In Division One, Long Sutton drew 1-1 at home to Oakham United Reserves while Sutton Bridge cruised to a 5-0 home win over Netherton’s second string.
