WEEKEND PREVIEW: Peterborough Sports can do better than Diamonds
All-conquering Sports - nick-named the ‘four-midables’ after winning a quartet of major trophies last season - start their competitive campaign with an FA Cup tie against Gorleston at PSL on Saturday (August 6) before making their Premier Division bow with a humdinger of a game at Wisbech next Tuesday (August 9).
Sports manager Jimmy Dean said: “My chairman has set me a target of a top six finish, but I think we can do a bit better than that.

“We fancy a little FA Cup run as well so we will be ready for Gorleston. We’ll take care of Wisbech business after that game.”
Star winger Jordan Macleod is an injury doubt for Sports this weekend, while number one goalkeeper Luke McShane will definitely miss the tie. New signing Josh Bennis will step in.
