PREVIEW: Local derby cracker at PSL and Deeping in a quarter-final to start a packed programme

Peterborough Sports host Spalding United at PSL (7.45pm) in Division One South of the Evo Stik League knowing that victory could take them above their local rivals into the top half of the table.

There’s also a big game for Deeping Rangers tonight who host Godmanchester in a Hinchingbrooke Cup quarter-final. Deeping’s United Counties Premier Division title challenge has faded recently so this competition is now their most realistic chance of a trophy this season.

Tomorrow (April 17) Wisbech Town seek to bounce back from a big-game defeat at home to Premier Division title rivals Newport Pagnell by winning at Leicester Nirvana.

A win for the Fenman would definitely take them above current second-placed team Holbeach United, but Newport Pagnell are also in action at Rothwell Corinthians and three points for them would push them into second spot for sure.

Pinchbeck United, who clinched promotion from Division One on Saturday, will clinch the title by picking up a point from a trip to Thrapston tomorrow.

Spalding are back in league action on Wednesday (April 18) at Carlton, but the highlight locally for that night is a battle between the Peterborough Premier Division’s top two Netherton United and Moulton Harrox at the Grange (8.10pm kick off).

Wednesday also sees the PFA Junior Cup Final between Cardea and Brotherhood Sports at Yaxley FC and a Cambs County Junior Cup Final involving Peterborough League Division Two side Parson Drove.
