Holders bow out and a shock defeat for Peterborough Town in T20 Cup, plus defeat for local ladies in National Cup
Holders Burghley Park were beaten and there was a shock defeat for Peterborough Town in the first round of the Stamford Charity Cup T20 competition on Monday night.

Peterborough Town also lost by four wickets to Rutland Division Three side Pak Azad at Woodlands despite an heroic effort by youngster DJ Sivaganeshan.
