PETERBOROUGH Azure secured their East Midlands Premier Division safety in fine style.The city outfit claimed a 3-1 win over Welbeck Welfare Ladies after a flurry of second-half goals.
Geo Sturgess took her tally to five goals in three games with a brace before Chanade Henderson struck from 30 yards.
Azure's still have two more league fixtures and a cup quarter-final to contest, but finding a venue is proving a headache for manager Steve Jason.
He said: "We are going to need pitches on May 10 and 17 - and possibly the 24th as well - but it seems that posts are already coming down all over the place.
"If anyone can help us out with facilities, please call me on 07944 574131."

IT is fast becoming a wonderful season for Whittlesey Under 15s.
Pasky Ciarla's side have already claimed Cambs Tesco Cup honours (despite playing against older teams in the Under 16 age bracket) and are set to add the Cambs League title to their collection.
Whittlesey need to collect two points from their final three league games to seal the silverware and have the opportunity to do just that when hosting Bishop's Stortford this weekend.
They could complete a treble when competing in the Cambs League Cup final next weekend against Cambridge City.
The side's county cup success earned them a place in the regional finals of the National Tesco Cup last weekend where they finished as runners-up - beating Luton, drawing with Leicester and going down to West Brom.
