The Voice of Spalding and South Holland

The reigning champions trounced Crowland Town with Joe Townsend leading the spree with a six-goal haul.
Summer signing Marcus Parry smashed home five goals with Martin Sandall, Billy King and Corban Oldham also on target for Harrox.
Holbeach United Reserves ran out 4-2 winners in their home clash with Sawtry to record their first Premier Division win of the season.
In Division One, Moulton Harrox Reserves completed a good day for the club with a 1-0 away win at Peterborough Polonia courtesy of Declan Earth’s match-winner.
Long Sutton shared the spoils in a 3-3 away draw at Stamford Bels while Sutton Bridge’s impressive start to the season continued in the Chairman’s Championship.
The current Division One high-flyers triumphed after extra-time to defeat Glinton & Northborough 3-2 thanks to goals from the prolific Matt Eaton (2) and Robert Hook.
Tydd St Mary continued their good start to the Division Two season with an assured 3-0 win at home to a dogged Netherton A side.
The home side created the best chances in the opening half with Tim Lowe smashing a shot against the outside of the post midway through the first period.
Tydd continued to play well and were rewarded on 40 minutes when Newcombe dropped the shoulder and hit a rocket of a shot which the keeper could only parry to Woods who slotted home.
Saints doubled their lead on the hour when setpiece specialist Newcombe delivered a heat-seeking cross to the head of Woods to nod home from close range.
The hard-working Lowe was rewarded with a goal on 70 minutes when a passage of one touch football between Ryan Jones and Newcombe released the centre forward who smashed the ball into the top corner.
Chances continued to come for Saints and, although the score remaining at 3-0, co-manager Dave Monaghan was extremely pleased with the performance after another good win.
Monaghan said: “We have all the ingredients to have a victorious season.”
