Lions, who finished third, were beaten 4-1 by Tydd St Mary, but both teams have now been placed in Division Two.

Bretton North End won the other play-off tie against Eye, but both of those teams fielded ineligible players and were removed from the competition at a disciplinary hearing last night. (May 24).

Bretton won the match 5-0, but Calum Parker, Pat Dooner and Robbie Osker hadn’t played enough league games to be eligible for the play-offs. Eye also fielded Andrew Buckle who wasn’t eligible.

The 2016-17 Peterborough League constitution has now been completed. AFC Stanground and Stanground Sports have merged to become AFC Stanground Sports.
