A man of 33 is accused of begging in Holland Market, Spalding, on April 19.

Spalding magistrates on Thursday adjourned the case again James Waxman, of The Tenters, Holbeach, to a hearing at Skegness on May 15.

Fire crews from Bourne and Market Deeping were called out to a shed blaze.

The fire started at lunchtime on Tuesday in Wetherby Close, Bourne. Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue did not say how it started.

Firefighters from Long Sutton were called to a kitchen fire at Kiln Drive, Tydd St Mary.

Fire damaged a plastic lid left on the hob and there was smoke damage to the kitchen. The fire started at 4.30pm on Tuesday.

A couple say they are having a soul-destroying wait for justice for their son, who was killed in a suspected hit and run.

Cyclist Tim Osborn (27) was found dead in a ditch beside the A151 Bourne Road between Spalding’s Monks House Lane crossroads and Pode Hole on September 14.

Tim’s mum, Lynne, and his brother, Michael, found his body at around midnight and ever since then the family has been grieving and in limbo in their wait for someone to be brought before a court.

Police arrested a 41-year-old Sleaford area man four days after the accident, but there is no word yet on whether a case will proceed against him or if anyone else will be prosecuted over the crash.

The family claim the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has now twice delayed any possible proceedings because they haven’t had the staff or time to look at Tim’s case files.

But the CPS denies the claims about staff shortages and says cases involving deaths on the roads require a thorough review of the evidence to ensure the correct charging decision is made.

The family says the first delay was for six weeks and the second for six to eight weeks.

Tim’s dad, Steve, said: “We were told before Christmas that we would have a definite result from the CPS either way by last week.”

But the week before the decision was expected, Steve says he had another call from a police liaison officer to say the CPS had asked for another six to eight weeks to look at Tim’s file.

He said: “Their reason – ‘we just don’t have enough people to look at the case’.”

Steve said the delay is hurting the family.

“To be honest, we are feeling sort of lost, forgotten, it’s soul destroying,” he said. “It’s frustrating waiting this long. At least when the police were putting the case together, we were having regular updates on why it’s taking so long and how it’s going.”

A spokesman for the CPS East Midlands said: “We acknowledge that for a bereaved family, waiting to learn the outcome of a charging decision relating to the death of a loved one can be distressing.

“However, cases involving deaths on the roads require thorough investigation by the police and equally thorough review of the evidence to ensure the correct charging decision is made.

“It is simply inaccurate to say that this case has been delayed by CPS staffing resources.

“However, we cannot provide specific comment on any case that is still subject to a charging decision.”

Tim was preparing for a holiday in Scotland shortly before he died.

His family plan to make that trip to one of his favourite spots, Urquhart Castle on the banks of Loch Ness, where they will scatter Tim’s ashes.

Steve said: “He had been up there a couple of times with some friends that he used to work with at Morrisons and he loved it up there.”

After he died, they found the last ever picture of Tim – taken on his mobile phone.

Members of a Spalding church have put forward their interest in plans for a community centre to be built on a town residential development.

Talks between South Holland Community Church and the district council have begun over the possibility of raising extra funds for the community centre in Wygate Park.

Plans to build a facility for use by residents were included in an agreement between South Holland District Council, Lincolnshire County Council and developers Keir Homes ten years ago.

But a proposed contribution of about £75,000 for the community centre is thought not to be enough for a “multi-functional building” in Wygate Park and the district council is exploring the possibility of South Holland Community Church becoming involved in the project.

Pastor Kevin Taylor, the church’s minister, said: “When Wygate Park was built, there were plans for a community centre to be provided and we’ve always said that we would be interested in being a part of that if it ever happened.

“At the moment, we meet at Ayscoughfee Hall School in Spalding but we’ve been working together for some time with the district council to have our own community building.

“If there is a possiblity of having a stake in the proposed community centre for Wygate Park, then we would be interested in running it as a facility for the community as well.”

South Holland District Council member for Spalding Wygate, Coun Roger Gambba-Jones, said: “It’s always been part of the masterplan for Wygate Park to create a community facility and South Holland Community Church is quite keen to get involved.

“The developers think they can build what was specified in the original agreement for £75,000 but that wouldn’t provide what would be a multi-functional building in that area.”

Spalding United fell just short of securing promotion from the UCL Premier Division on Saturday despite a 3-0 win at Peterborough Northern Star, while Moulton Harrox lifted the PFA Senior Trophy after beating ICA Sports 3-0 on Friday night.

Starting with the final day of the UCL Premier Division season, it was St Ives that clinched second place behind champions Holbeach United – and indeed promotion – after a dramatic late 1-0 win at ten-man Shepshed Dynamo.

Ex-Deeping Rangers winger David Cobb netted the only goal eight minutes from time at The Dovecote.

That rendered Spalding’s comfortable triumph at Chestnut Avenue as mere consolation...although it didn’t feel that way for much of the afternoon.

Two slick goals lit up an otherwise quiet first half, with Gary King (30) and skipper Lee Canoville (39) getting on the scoresheet.

The opener saw Tony Battersby play a lovely reverse pass into the path of Jake Gibson, who crossed well for King to slot home from eight yards.

Expert strike play from Battersby then slipped in right back Canoville for a clinical second, as he fired past keeper Nick Conroy from close range.

Jack McGovern also hit the post for Pat Rayment’s men in the opening period, with resolute hosts Star offering very little going forward.

The second-half was something of a damp squib, with all eyes on the score at Shepshed. Indeed, the St Ives goal was even announced on the PA system by the home club, which didn’t go down very well with Rayment and his bench.

King did add a late third with a clever finish from a tough angle, but by then the final whistle had gone at Shepshed and Spalding’s promotion dreams were over.

The Tulips finish one point behind St Ives in third, with the three-point deduction they were given for a ‘clerical error’ back at the start of the season now looking very costly indeed.

Spalding must now pick themselves up for Monday’s UCL Knockout Cup final with St Ives, which is back at Chestnut Avenue (3pm).

There was cause for celebration in South Holland on Friday night though, with Moulton winning their second trophy of the season.

Bobby Patterson headed Harrox ahead from a set piece in the first period at Peterborough United’s London Road, before Joe Townsend beat a few players and rifled the second into the corner.

Tom Panton’s 25-yard stunner after the break sealed the success for Harrox, who add the trophy to their Lincs Junior Cup crown. They can complete a historic treble on Tuesday night if they beat Leverington Sports in the Premier Division (6.30pm).

Elsewhere in the Premier Division on Saturday, Deeping Rangers Reserves romped to an 8-0 triumph at Kings Cliffe, while Pinchbeck United were beaten 2-1 at home by Ramsey Town.

Organisers said Spalding’s last flower parade would go out with a bang and the crowds were not disappointed.

More than 40,000 people accepted the invitation to Let’s Celebrate and saw the 55th and final parade come to a stunning end in an explosion of colour.

Spectators travelled from all over the country to be part of the emotional day and had begun gathering along the route as early as 9am.

For the Green’s from Mansfield Woodhouse it was their first parade. Dad Jason said: “We’ve been watching all about it on the television and with it being the last one we thought we’d come along. The atmosphere is fantastic.”

Thirty-five floats, marching bands and entertainers wound their way around the town. They were led by Flower Queen Inca Honnor and her attendants - Shelley Wilson, Rachel Perkins, Florence Butters and Heather Turner - in a stunning horse-drawn royal carriage float, that featured a flower laden golden crown.

Next was a float with Miss Jersey Battle of Flowers and the Free Press Prince and Princess Ellis Newton (10) and Millie Weller (9).

Former Flower Queens were also in the parade, reliving a day they will treasure for the rest of their lives.

Diane Virden was deputy Flower Queen in 2003. She said: “I’m thrilled to be here but a little sad, too, with it being the last one.”

A shortage of tulip heads meant the parade had an entirely new look as float decorators got crafty using daffodils and a range of fresh materials, including fabrics, ribbons, cork, foil and feathers.

Traditionalists could have been horrified by this but no-one seemed to mind. Joan Stanthorpe (94) saw the very first parade and used to help create the floats in the heading sheds.

She said: “There used to be a lot more flowers, but it has still been lovely.”

Sutton Bridge parish councillors are making a final bid to stop a £300million biomass power station being built at Wingland.

South Holland’s planning committee meets on Wednesday and is expected to give the go-ahead having already approved all but a few final details of the application from EnergyPark Sutton Bridge.

A letter from the parish council will ask the committee not only to defer the application so a public meeting can be held in the village with environmental and other experts – but to look at the whole thing again.

Planning committee chairman Coun Roger Gambba-Jones said members will decide on Wednesday whether or not to defer the plan, but their decision is about a building and the Environment Agency is responsible for checking the safety of the power station’s emissions.

Parish councillors claim district councillors didn’t understand the plans and believe some key details were not reported to them.

Coun Jenny Rowe told parish councillors: “We will probably end up going for judicial review because I think it’s been dealt with appallingly.”

Mrs Rowe attended April’s planning meeting and had three minutes to voice parish council objections, but told parish councillors that Sutton Bridge councillor and planning committee member Chris Brewis should have 
done more.

She said: “I then got no support from Councillor Brewis whatsoever – he could have stood up and talked for as long as he wanted and got that (the application) thrown out.”

Coun Vicky Hills said some district councillors admitted they didn’t understand the application’s non-technical summary and wondered what chance they stood with the technical summary.

She said: “We also need to point out to them how incompetent we think they all were and have it noted.”

‘Stop complaining and start supporting your school’

The rallying call follows a three-day visit by Ofsted to Spalding’s Sir John Gleed School sparked by parents’ concerns.

Lesa Jeffery, who has a daughter in Year 8, was to have launched a new Parents and Friends Association on Tuesday evening, but was asked to postpone it.

However, Lesa says it is still time to end negative comments about the school and look to the future.

She said: “I have spoken to Mrs Daniels and she still thoroughly supports a PFA being formed when things settle down.

“Negativity doesn’t help anyone – it is a new academy and parents need to get behind it, stop moaning and help.”

Rebecca Thirkell, who was supported by a number of parents when she complained to Ofsted about “serious incidents relating to violence, drugs and smoking”, this week closed the Facebook page Gleed School Needs Changes and started Gleed – New Beginnings.

Yesterday (Wednesday) parents were still feeling “in limbo” awaiting the result of the Ofsted report, which could take 20 days to be made public.

Headteacher Janet Daniels said: “The result of Ofsted’s recent inspection will not be known until the publication of the report in approximately one month.

“Until the report is published I am unable to discuss the inspection.

“I realise that this leaves an unsettling time for parents, students and staff, but I want to reassure the whole school community that my priority during this time is to ensure that students continue to receive high-quality teaching and learning as we move into the important summer term.

“I am working closely with colleagues in school and at CfBT Schools Trust to ensure that this happens.”

Bosses of a proposed wind farm at West Pinchbeck are defying a council request to withdraw their planning application.

Wind Ventures Ltd wants to site nine 126m high turbines at The Delph, but experts have found “major flaws” in the company’s wildlife surveys submitted in support of the planning application.

South Holland District Council’s development manager Richard Fidler wrote to the company asking it to withdraw its planning application or face a legal notice forcing it to give proper ecological data.

Natural England, Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust and an expert hired by the protest group, Stop West Pinchbeck Wind Farm, are among those that have highlighted flaws in the data collected by the company.

But Adrian Butler, the Wind Ventures project manager for The Delph, said the company is not withdrawing and will press ahead with its application.

He said: “At the moment, we are in the process of drafting a detailed response to the comments made by Natural England, Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust, Lincolnshire Bat Group and the ecology expert for Stop West Pinchbeck Wind Farm.”

The protest group’s expert Dr Timothy Read says the company failed to comply with Natural England guidelines when it compiled its ecological data and missed out crucial information such as winter bird surveys.

Protest spokesman Tony Fear said the errors were so serious that the project could be delayed by at least a year while a proper survey is carried out.

But Mr Butler told the Spalding Guardian: “We should not have to go through another year’s worth of surveys. We believe that every effort that was put in was sufficient and agrees with the guidelines. We believe there is no need to do any additional survey work as part of this application.”

Asked if it was a question of doing another survey or the application being rejected, Mr Butler said the company would then “have to consider that”.

Mr Fear said: “This is why we say we are not celebrating too early because we expect them to put up a fight.”

He says the company’s survey failures are “a matter of fact” and experts say the council doesn’t have sufficient ecological data to determine the planning application.

South Holland and The Deepings MP John Hayes has raised his own objections to the turbines “standing twice the height of Nelson’s Column”.

He says the turbines will be close to two Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust Nature Reserves, one of which – Willow Tree Fen – is linked to the last remnants of wild wetland fens in the county. The MP says the district and county councils ploughed £500,000 into the reserve and almost £2million has been spent there in the last three years.

Mr Hayes said: “I believe that this proposal will have a detrimental impact on local wildlife habitats of birds, bats and other forms of wildlife, which reportedly include those of weasels, stoats, newts and other species.”

But he’s also concerned about the human cost as the cluster of turbines would leave only 2.58 miles of “clear skyline” between them and the turbines at Deeping St Nicholas – and a further four turbines have been given consent between the two sites.

He cites the experience of wind farm victims of Julian and Jane Davies who had to quit their home because of noise nuisance from the Deeping St Nicholas turbines – and points out that turbines are extremely inefficient and costly.

A man in his early twenties has died after he was hit by a coach on the A16 in Cowbit on Saturday.

Police believe the man was walking along the road when he was struck shortly before 6pm and despite emergency services being called, he was pronounced dead at the scene.

The coach was being driven by a 62-year-old man from Surrey and contained a number of passengers, none of whom were injured.

They were later trasferred to specially hired taxis to continue their journey, but it is not known at this stage whether they were coming from Spalding Flower Parade which ended just minutes before the accident happened.

A Lincolnshire Police spokesman said they were in the process of contacting the dead man’s relatives but his identity would not be made public until Tuesday at the earliest.

Anyone who saw the man walking along the road anytime before 6pm yesterday evening or the collision itself should contact police on 101, quoting incident number 348 of May 4.

Saracen’s Head pair Andy Stafford and Clive Woods experienced one of England’s finest canals for a worthy cause on an 85-mile walk for two charities.

The best friends are set to raise about £3,000 together after walking along the Kennett and Avon Canal from Reading to Bath in aid of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Trust and the Stroke Association.

Andy (51) and Clive (52) took four days to complete their journey, with overnight stays in farmhouses and guest houses offering bed and breakfast along the route.

The achievement was made all the more remarkable by the fact that Clive was diagnosed with arthritis four years ago.

Andy said: “We’re both petrolheads and over a beer one night, Clive and I talked about going to look at a steam-driven pump down on the River Avon called Croftden.

“Jokingly, we said ‘why not walk along the whole stretch of the canal?’ and we thought of doing it for an MS charity because of a friend who has the condition and for The Stroke Association because I lost a relative of mine through a stroke four years ago.”

The Kennett and Avon Canal runs between the River Thames and the Bristol Channel, taking Andy and Clive through West Berkshire (an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) and the Cotswolds through to Bath which is a World Heritage Site.

Andy said: “It was an absolutely beautiful walk and for Clive to do it, despite suffering quite badly with an arthritic condition, was amazing.

“We started off in snow from Reading on April 11 and finished in Bath on April 14 in bright sunshine.

“Our experiences along the route were fantastic and we were overwhelmed by the warmth and friendship of the people we met who welcomed us into their homes and took us to the starting points each day.

“We haven’t enjoyed ourselves so much in ages.”

Motorists are being warned not to leave valuables in their vehicles after a spate of smash-and-grab incidents in Holbeach and Long Sutton areas over the weekend.

Police confirmed that they had received four reports of motor vehicles being broken into between Saturday and Sunday, with sat navs, mobile phones and other electrical items targeted by thieves.

People are also advised to mark their belonging with an ultraviolet pen and serial numbers by visiting www.immobilise.com

Anyone with information should call Lincolnshire Police on 101 or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

“It’s been a little girl’s dream come true.”

Flower Queen Inca Honnor says she will never forget the day she led the 55th and final Spalding Flower Parade.

She said: “It’s been absolutely fabulous. There are no words to describe it – the best day of my life so far.”

The performing arts student looked stunning for the greatest role of her life so far on her “white horse-drawn carriage”, wearing a fairytale peppermint green jewelled gown, with a “big” net skirt.

She was surrounded by her attendants Shelley Wilson (24) of Pinchbeck, Rachel Perkins (17) of Spalding, Florence Butters (19) of Spalding and Heather Turner of Spalding.

Their gowns were provided by Fancy Frox of Spalding and Inca was determined to keep her’s top secret until the big day.

She said: “I didn’t tell anyone what the gown was like – only my sister Talia knew.

“I wanted something really special – but I didn’t want people to imagine what it was like beforehand and be disappointed.”

In the run-up to the parade Inca attended the Lincolnshire Daffodil Society show at Springfields, saw the floats being made at a heading shed in Pinchbeck and judged at the crowning of carnival queens, prince and princesses in Pinchbeck and Moulton.

Her next big event is the Battle of Flowers in Jersey. She said: “I’m really looking forward to that too.”

When the crowds gave Spalding’s final flower parade the thumbs up, it made months of planning worthwhile.

Kathleen Codd, of Kenyon Communications, said: “I haven’t stopped smiling all day.

“We were concerned about there not being enough tulips but the feedback we’ve had about the colours, textures and different designs we used has been very positive.”

The volume of traffic into the town for the parade meant some of the bands were running late though.

But it didn’t stop the show being hailed as a winner.

Kathleen said: “We’ve had such a fantastic operational team and drivers, it has made such a difference since we first took over three years ago. That was a big learning curve.

“It’s been a challenge and there have been lots of late nights and little sleep, but we are thrilled with how things went.”

For Caroline Kenyon, the day was always going to be emotional and as the final float passed the stand along the riverside where the dignitaries sat there were tears in her eyes.

She said: “It’s been absolutely fabulous.

“The floats have been just stunning. I’m delighted.

”I know I won’t be alone in having a tear in my eye that this wonderful street celebration won’t happen again.”

There was a message to spectators sitting in the stand from one of the Long Sutton Veteran Cyclists, calling on dignitaries to take note of the crowds that had turned up and not let it be the last one.

But organisers are already looking to the future.

MP John Hayes said: “I’m determined we should take this forward.

“I’m a passionate supporter of the flower parade – this is my 17th and for many they’ve had a lot more.

“I’ve supported it every year since becoming an MP. I saved it about five years ago with the help of the Free Press.

“This tradition must not die. It may not carry on in its present form and this may be the end of one chapter, but it’s the start of a new one for the flower parade.”

Visitors from across the country experienced the uniqueness of Spalding Flower Parade weekend while fitting in a little shopping at the same time.

Thousands of people watched the cavalcade of floats and entertainers leave Springfields on their way round Spalding before returning to the events centre later on Saturday afternoon,

In the realisation that this year’s event is likely to be the last made people even more aware as to the significance of the day.

Pam and Derek Cloke, from Sunderland, said: “It was the first time we’d been to the parade and so we feel quite privileged that we haven’t missed it.

“We’re very saddened that it’s ending because there aren’t enough of these events around in the country.”

Max Jarvis, from Spalding, said: “It was nice that the parade appeared to be bigger this year but I’m a little bit said that it’s the last one because it’s a tourist attraction and it brings a lot of people to Spalding.

“It’s a shame all that’s going to stop.”

Claudia Hurcombe, from London, but originally from Panama, said: “The parade was really good and I loved the bands, the singing and the floats.

“People were really friendly and it was a nice day out.”

It was a busy weekend for David Norton, chief executive of Springfields Horticultural Society, who helped in co-ordinating both the Flower Parade and Classic Car Show.

He said: “We had a lot of participants over the weekend who had a great time and that’s essentially what the parade and car show were.

“This weekend has been all about celebrating what is unique about South Holland, engaging with the community, and as a pair of events it worked.

“It was nice to see the creativity of the Flower Parade and the car show was one of the most successful we’ve had, with between 2,000 and 3,000 people here.

“All in all, it’s been a very positive weekend for South Holland.”

MOULTON HARROX 3 ICA SPORTS 0: Relentless Moulton tied up the second party of a potential Peterborough League treble with an imperious FA Senior Cup win on Friday night.

Lincs Junior Cup winners Harrox added the league’s top cup prize to their coffers with a top showing at Peterborough United’s London Road, thanks to goals from Bobby Patterson, Joe Townsend and Tom Panton.

And they can tie up a historic treble tonight, providing they see off Leverington Sports at Broad Lane (6.30pm).

Harrox joint boss Harrox co-boss Paul Kent said: “We played really well and everything went to plan.

“Our aim was to keep ICA quiet for half-an-hour before pushing on and we were able to get ourselves a couple of goals before the break.

“The third goal settled it and it’s great to pick up a second trophy of the season with the prospect of a league title still to come.

“It has taken a lot of hard work on and off the pitch by some very dedicated people to get into this position.”

Having lost on all five of their previous visits to Posh’s home, Moulton’s nerves were settled by two goals in seven first-half minutes.

Defensive stalwart Patterson got the ball rolling, rising highest to head home from a set-play.

A second strike from midfield ace Townsend the put the South Holland side in command, as he turned well before lashing into the corner.

The victory was complete in the second period when Panton crashed a stunning 25-yarder into the net.

It’s Harrox’s second PFA Senior Cup triumph in three years and the third South Holland success in as many years after Pinchbeck United won it last year.

Spalding Cricket Club enjoyed one of their finest-ever results as they slayed Bracebridge Heath in the Lincs ECB Premier League on Saturday.

A stunning bowling display from Campbell Light (7-40) saw perennial title contenders Bracebridge collapse from 95-1 to 118 all out at Spalding Grammar School.

Warren Nel (35) and that man Light (42) then starred with the bat as Town reached their tally with four wickets to spare, securing their first win in the top flight in the progress.

The momentous win lifts promoted Spalding off the foot of the table – and will no doubt raise eyebrows across the division.

Elsewhere in the top flight, Market Deeping went fifth after a victory over champions Haxey, who were all out for 131 with Kamran Raza taking 5-38.

Deeping lost four wickets before reaching their target, with an unbeaten stand from David Gillett (36no) and Ben Willemsen (22no) guiding them home.

Bourne picked up a losing draw at Lincoln Lindum, thanks largely to a fine 50 from Ben Stroud.

Hosts Lindum cracked 208-3 batting first, with Karanjit Bansal (66) and Charles Tomlinson (55no) making half centuries.

Opener Stroud then starred as Bourne’s reply started off pretty well, but they could only reach 175-6 at the close, in a match reduced to 34 overs per side because of a hail storm.

In South Lincs and Border League, Billingborough’s imperious start to the Premier Division season continued.

They battered Bourne 2nd by 152 runs, with Michael Musson (49) top scoring in their 225-8.

Rutvik Botadra (7-21) then starred with the ball as Bourne were bamboozled out for 73, with only Tom Bentley (41) making any kind of score.

Moulton Harrox are still searching for their first win after a comprehensive beating at Woodhall Spa. The hosts racked up 288-7, despite having no individual score of above 50, before bowling Harrox out for 137.

In Division One, Long Sutton continue to lead the way with a maximum haul of 60 points after sealing a third successive victory.

Barry Stanway took 4-21 as hosts Stamford 2nd were dismissed for 90, with Sutton knocking that off for the loss of just one wicket. The man to fall, Chris Booth, top scored with 53.

Baston stay second following a five-wicket win over Billingborough 2nd, having bowling their opponents out for just 95. Steve Richardson (3-17) and John Lamin (3-16) did much of the damage.

Spalding 2nd slipped up against Thomas Cook, having been dismissed for 122 chasing 164-8.

There was another low-scoring clash on Sunday, with Deeping 2nd making light work of Moulton Harrox 2nd.

Joe Pearson took 6-34 to skittle Moulton out for 98 at Outgang Road, with Deeping knocking the runs off for the loss of just one wicket.

Down in Division Two, Long Sutton 2nd went top with a five-wicket victory over Grantham 2nd at Paradise Field. A stunning 6-22 from Rob Simpson blew the visitors away for just 82, with Gary Burton’s unbeaten 30 guiding Sutton home.

The closest game of the weekend saw Spalding 3rd edge a one-wicket success over Timberlands. Having removed their opponents for 110, Town were indebted to a 30 down the order from Jimmy Clarke as they edged home.

Meanwhile, Pinchbeck suffered a 76-run defeat against Lindum 3rd. Despite top bowling from Andrew Beeston (5-37), the Lincoln side posted 218 batting first.

Pinchbeck reached 142, with Richard Riley scoring 59, before being bowled out.

SPALDING UNITED 4 ST IVES TOWN 0: The Tulips put the disappointment of missing out on promotion firmly behind them on Monday as they lifted the UCL Knockout Cup in style.

Three goals in 12 first-half minutes from Lee Beeson (29), Jamie Thurlbourne (35) and Dan Cotton (41) blew holders St Ives away at Chestnut Avenue, with Kieron Doherty completing the rout in the final minute.

Both teams fielded under-strength sides in front of 336 fans, but Pat Rayment and his charges were very much worthy winners as they capped their best season in a decade with some silverware.

It was St Ives, promoted at Spalding’s expense on Saturday, who started much the better though – with keeper Michael Duggan forced to make two cracking early stops.

First he was forced to get down low to deny Dan Bannister at his near post, before acrobatically turning away a rasping 25-yard half-volley from Guy Last.

In between those two saves from the Spalding stopper, St Ives were unfortunate not to go ahead when striker Junior McDougald hit the woodwork.

Duggan was forced to race out of his area and clear a long pass forward with his head, but the ball dropped at the feet of the ex-Wycombe Wanderers striker. He expertly lobbed an effort back over the stranded keeper, but saw the ball crash back off the far post.

That seemed to wake the Tulips up and they slowly grabbed a foothold in the game, with the excellent Jack McGovern taking charge of the midfield.

It took 28 minutes for Thurlbourne to fire their first shot on target, but from the resulting corner Spalding grabbed the opener. It was winger Beeson who stole in at the near post to direct a header past the helpless Nick Bennion – and the Tulips never looked back.

The move of the match doubled their advantage, with McGovern and Thurlbourne combining superbly. A flicked ball forward after a period of good possession allowed McGovern to race clear down the right and he unselfishly squared for Thurlbourne to slam home via the inside of the post.

If 2-0 was impressive, Spalding were then in dreamland at 3-0 when Cotton grabbed his 26th goal of the season.

This time it was Luke Kennedy, excellent all game in the hole between midfield and attack, who slotted the killer ball through, allowing Cotton to coolly round Bennion and tap home.

Stunned St Ives looked to have no way back at the interval, but they almost had a helping hand from Spalding early in the second period. A free kick from Jamie Alsop wreaked havoc in the box, with Michael Jacklin deflecting the ball inches past his own post.

At the other end Beeson had a golden opportunity to put the result beyond all doubt, but he screwed an effort just wide after a neat flick from skipper Glen Fuff in the aftermath of a corner.

Chances were few and far between for the remainder of the second half, but Stuart Cobb did blow one big opportunity to give the Saints a sniff of a comeback.

The substitute ran through one-on-one with Duggan following a piercing Lee Ellison pass, but could only direct his angled effort wide of the far post.

Kennedy was incredibly unfortunate not to make it 4-0 seven minutes from time when his close-range shot from a tidy Beeson pass was deflected wide with the goal gaping – but Spalding had one more goal up their sleeve.

It came in added time, with an offside-looking Cotton racing through on goal and laying off for Doherty to tap a rare goal into the unguarded net.

Although the UCL Premier Division’s two other outstanding teams – champions Holbeach United and the promoted Saints – denied Spalding their chief targets this season, it was fitting that they ended their best campaign in a decade with a trophy.

Boss Rayment and everybody involved with the club will hope it’s an ominous sign of things to come.
