Peterborough Sports bid farewell to step 2 football after punching above their weight for 4 seasons, awards hat-trick for forward
Peterborough Sports end four seasons as a National League North club at Hereford United on Saturday.
It’s been a miserable campaign for Sports who are next-to-bottom in the table, but it’s only fair to say they've punched above their weight far more successfully than many imagined when they first reached step two for the first time in the club’s history.
Just 12 months ago Sports were celebrating their highest finish of 12th and their record points total of 63 under the joint management of Michael Gash and Luke Steele.
They were replaced by veteran former Premier League manager Phil Brown in September, but that appointment didn’t work out leaving Gash to return as sole manager.
Sports were beaten 8-0 at Worksop Town last weekend so Gash is keen to make amends for that against a Hereford team who need to win to be certain of staying up. One of the other teams at risk if hereford do win is King’s Lynn Town, a club where Gash was a playing hero.
Luca Miller was a three-time winner of club awards. The forward won the supporters ‘player-of-the-season,’ ‘manager’s player of the season’ and the ‘young player of the season’ prizes. Defender Marcel Oakley won the ‘players ‘player-of-the-season’ award.
