Hotshot Hamilton and another twist in the Peterborough Premier Division title race, plus a round up of all divisions and cups

​Reigning champions and leaders Uppingham Town crashed 4-1 at third-placed Leverington Sports and, with fellow challengers Warboys Town and Stanground Sports both winning, there are now just five points separating the top five teams.

Louie Garner, Kieran Hamilton, Aaron McKenna and Callum Young scored for Leverington, while Jake Thornton scored twice in a 4-0 win for second-placed Warboys Town over Holbeach United Reserves.

Hamilton is the division’s top scorer with 23 goals, 10 more than any other player.

Stanground Sports remain the sole challengers for the title from the city. They recovered from a shock defeat at struggling Netherton to ease to a 3-0 win at Oakham United.

Stanground have been boosted by an influx of new players and debutants Snor Islam and Modou Gaye scored at Oakham. Stanground host Uppingham this Saturday (2pm).

Netherton couldn’t build on their surprise win and a 2-0 defeat at Wittering Premiair coupled with a 1-0 win for Tydd sent the city side back to the bottom of the table. Harry Whittington and Douglas Zimbango scored for Wittering, although the latter was later sent off.
