Haverhill Rovers lost 2-4 at home to Soham Town Rangers on Saturday, February 7, 2026, at The New Croft in Haverhill, Suffolk.

The defeat was Haverhill’s third consecutive home loss and threatens the club’s mid‑table stability as the season progresses. The result will cause concern among supporters after a run of disappointing results at The New Croft.

Soham opened the scoring through Oliver Ward in the 13th minute, but Haverhill hit back before half‑time with goals from Jarid Robson and Oliver Reynolds to lead 2-1 at the interval. Soham then staged a late turnaround, scoring three times in the final 15 minutes — goals from Harry Harvey, Reece Flatts and Michele Cipriani — to secure a 4-2 victory for the visitors.

After the match the Haverhill Rovers manager said the side had made it difficult for themselves by conceding early and praised the players’ fight to get back into the game, but added the final goal was a heavy blow to the team’s spirit.

Local reporting noted that the crowd were frustrated by defensive errors in the first half. The club now looks to steady its form and protect its league position as it prepares for the next set of fixtures.
