Perfect 10 for city side, six wins in a row for top-flight team, Guest scoring for fun for a different club
Stanground Cardea Sports completed a perfect 10 by cruising to a 6-0 win over Oakham United Reserves in Division Two of the Peterborough League on Saturday.
The city side took a voluntary demotion after finishing fifth in the Premier Division last season. It’s looking likely to be rewarded with a trophy as there is already a nine-point gap between first and second. Charlie Webb (2), Josh Staggs, George Staggs, Ryley Nicholson-Barfoot and Trey West scored the goals against Oakham.
King’s Cliffe are second, and they do have two games in hand on the leaders, after a 3-2 win over Sawtry Reserves. Ashley Davies, Grant McClean and Christian Scott scored the Cliffe goals.
Many Premier Division sides were in County Cup action at the weekend which enabled Warboys Town to jump up to fourth place with a 1-0 win over fading reigning champions Uppingham Town. Will Jolly claimed the only goal for a team who have won six games in a row after a traumatic start to the season.
Top-flight title favourites Netherton United couldn’t transfer their league form to the Northants Junior Cup. They suffered a first defeat of the season, 2-1 at Finedon Volta.
In Division One Yaxley Reserves kept up their title push with a 1-0 win over Park Farm Pumas as a first half goal from Zack Fisher proved decisive.
Lee Deane scored twice as Hampton United Reserves won 4-2 at Moulton Harrox Reserves to move up to second place in Division Three. Archie Parkes and Evan Walters also scored.
The top two in Division Four both won 3-2. Leaders Alconbury Weald Reserves were at Stanton FC and second placed Yaxley A pipped Glinton & Northborough Reserves with goals from Cameron Lee Guest (2) and Sam Whiting. Guest was a star at ICA last season and he’s transferred those skills to Yaxley as he’s the top scorer in the division with 17 goals.
