Arun and Jack preview this one...

A clash up against Pinchbeck United in the Lincolnshire Senior Trophy is up next for the Rangers. The visitors play their football in the Thurlow Nunn League North and currently sit in 13th place with 16 points under their belt.

The Knights are in bad form as of late. They’ve only managed to pick up 1 point in their last 4 games; with one of the losses being a 1-6 thrashing from Framlingham Town, the Knights’ confidence must be low. Pinchbeck United player Logan Tate could be the one to turn their unwanted points drought around. He has scored 6 goals in 15 appearances this season.

The Rangers are the underdogs on paper but will be hoping they can use a previous win against Heanor to grasp victory. Let’s they can progress with a win! Come on you Rangers!

1930’s - History suggests that there was a football team in Pinchbeck as early as the 1930s.
1950’s - We joined the Premier Division of the Peterborough & District League in 1958. We won the Lincolnshire County Cup in 1957/58 and the picture of that triumph is still displayed at Knight Street.
1980’s - We were Premier Division Champions in 1989/90, retaining the title the following season. This was under the stewardship of Dave Arnold.
2011 (2012) - We were Champions again in 2011/12 and won the PFA Senior cup at Peterborough United’s Ground to complete the Double. This was Ian Dunn’s first spell at the club.
2015 (2016) - Dunn was to re-join the club in the 2015/16 season with Allan Ross and together they forged a formidable team. After a poor start to the league campaign, we went on a great run to finish 3rd that term and won the Presidents Shield.
2016 (2017) - We retained the Presidents Shield in the 2016/17 season, and we gave ourselves a nickname. “The Knights” were born and we went on to gain promotion to the United Counties League. The nickname was born from the home of Pinchbeck United in Knight Street, however with the ground unable to meet United Counties League Standards we were forced to leave our home and rent the Sir Halley Stewart Field in Spalding.
2017 (2018) - The 2017/18 season was the first time at Step 6 and we rose to the challenge winning the United Counties League Division 1 title with games to spare.
2018 (2019) - In 2018/19 we were in the United Counties Premier League and finished a creditable 4th in the League and reached the Hinchingbrooke Cup Final.
2019 - 2021 - The 2019/20 & 2020/21 seasons were difficult time for the club on and off the field not registering any wins in the disrupted and ultimately expunged seasons due to Coronavirus.
2021 – Under new management with Lewis Thorogood and his backroom staff as well as a new look squad the club is once again excited to see what the future brings in step 5 football.
2021-2022 – After rebuilding the squad and having a very young side, the team managed to get a reprieve from relegation on PPG basis finishing 17th out of 18 teams and taking it down to the last game of the season.
2022-2023 – After five years of trying Pinchbeck United won their first ever respective FA competition matches in the extra preliminary round of FA Cup against Melton Town after a replay before losing to Shepshed Dynamo of step 4 in the preliminary round, as well as reaching the Fourth Round proper of the FA Vase starting from the first qualifying round beating Holbeach Utd, Deeping Rangers, Sherwood Colliery, Dunkirk & St Panteleimon before falling to an away defeat in the last 32 to Congleton Town.
2023-2024 – After six seasons at step 5, and maintaining the clubs ethos of working with young footballers unfortunately the club were relegated to step 6 on goal difference. They will now play in the Eastern Counties Division One North for the 24/25 season.
