On Friday night they lifted the League Cup and then yesterday (March 12) they sailed through to the final of the PFA Cup.

It was, however, far from plain sailing for the unbeaten Division One table-toppers against Glinton and Northborough Amber in the cup final at In2itive Park.

In fact they trailed 2-0 at half-time and a huge upset looked to be on the cards.

Yesterday Sports hit big city rivals Peterborough Northern Star for six in the PFA Cup. They won 6-2 with Gilbert grabbing four of the goals and Calum Arden bagging the other two.

Sports need one more win from their four remaining games to clinch the Division One title.
