Domingos Sanha (2) and Sam Sadiq scored for FC Peterborough who are now seven points clear of Stilton having played three fewer games.

Uppingham have dropped to third a point further back after goals from Lewis McManus and Josh Staggs won the day for Stilton.

There was only one game played in Division One and Peterborough City won it 7-0 at Holbeach Sports to move to the top of the table. Finn Pritchard was the four-goal hero for City who were also helped by two own goals.

Previous leaders Sawtry made progress in the League Cup, 9-8 on penalties after a goalless draw at Pinchbeck Reserves.

In Division Three Thorpe Wood Rangers ended the perfect playing record of Park Farm Pumas Reserves with a 2-0 win and Netherton A lost for just the second time this season as they failed to claw back a first half goal from Ketton and Casterton’s Dan Kettleborough.

Joshua Ledwith struck a hat-trick and Andrew Holt scored twice as second-placed Hampton United won the big game in Division Four, 5-2 at Thorney. William Knight and Nicholas Bewick netted for the villagers.

There’s no stopping Malborne at this level. They made it 10 wins from 10 games with a 4-1 victory at Sawtry Reserves. The city side are five points clear.
