Brothers in arms shoot city side to the summit, NXT Gen team ease into a semi-final
The Hibbins brothers were in hot form as Stanground Cardea Sports moved to the top of the Peterborough Premier Division.
Cameron, Kyle and Kieron Hibbins were all on target as the city side saw off Ramsey Town 3-0 at Stanground Sports Centre to move three points clear at the top.
Uppingham are up to second after a 3-1 win at Sawtry with Crowland dropping from first to third as they were in Lincs Cup action, winning 6-1 at North Somercotes United.
FC Peterborough lost ground at the top despite a hat-trick from Jake Rayment in a 3-3 draw with Oakham United.
Division One
The top four didn’t play last weekend, but bottom club Whittlesey Athletic Development were in action and picked up a point from a 2-2 draw with Park Farm Pumas.
Whittlesey have yet to win 12 matches, but this was a fifth draw secured by two goals from Cody Gautry. Sean Blackmore and Ryan Bloor scored for Park Farm.
Division Two
Netherton United Reserves took advantage of the bad weather-defying 4G surface at the Grange to extend their lead at the top to 10 points.
They beat Thorney 8-0 with Oliver Goymour (2), Jack Bedwell (2), Rufus Onyinah, Neilas Srebalius and Michael Uff among the scorers.
YDP are up to third after a goal from veteran Liam Harrold was enough to win at Leverington Reserves, while Billy Ziberi struck twice in a 6-1 win for Crowland Reserves over Polonia.
Division Three
Stamford AFC Reserves joined South Lincs Swifts on 33 points at the top by beating King’s Cliffe 6-0 at Borderville. Joey Buckingham scored twice.
The big game between Swifts and fellow high-fliers Stanground Cardea Sports was postponed, but Titas Kaupas scored twice for Park Farm A in a 7-1 romp at Ramsey Reserves.
Division Four
The top two in were without games so third-placed FC Peterborough Development moved closer with a 3-1 victory over Ketton Sports Black courtesy of a hat-trick from Estefiano Alfredo Da Silva Tilman.
Junior Cup
Division Four side NXT Gen moved smoothly into the semi-finals of the Peterborough League competition with a 5-1 win over higher-level Sawtry Reserves.
Ibrahim Ahmed (2), Arslan Ali, Edmilson Fernandes and Hishaam Khan were the scorers.
Sunday League
Peterborough Saints lost for the first time this season, 1-0 at home to St Neots-based George & Dragon FC in a Hunts Sunday Cup quarter-final.
Only two league games were played, both in Division Two with CSKA Emneth Reserves drawing 2-2 with South Holland United and Murrow Bell winning 5-1 at PSV.
Warren Hebblethwaite scored his 15th goal of the season for South Holland. Only Jae Mead (17) of Stanground Cardea Sports Development has more.
