A great day for Stanground Sports even though they didn't play! Thorney into a cup final, medical emergency halted Premier Division match
Stanground Sports were the big winners in the Peterborough Premier Division last weekend...and they didn’t even play.
The third-placed city side were washed out for the second Saturday running, but would have been pleased to see top two Uppingham Town and Moulton Harrox both beaten.
Uppingham went down 3-1 at home to a Leverington Sports side who still have title ambitions of their own, but Harrox were beaten 1-0 at lowly Tydd courtesy of a Maxwell Burrell goal.
Aaron McKenna scored twice for Leverington with Jake Gadsden also on target.
The match between fourth placed Warboys Town and Wittering Premiair was abandoned after a player suffered a medical emergency. Happily the player concerned was given the all clear after a visit to hospital.
At the bottom Netherton United lost for the first time under the management of Darren Fogg, 2-1 at Holbeach United Reserves.
Oakham booked a Senior Cup semi-final date with Moulton Harrox with a 3-2 quarter-final win over Crowland. Corban Oldham Oldham and Nathan Pickering scored for Crowland.
Warboys have already reached the final.
