Kamara, the man with the best shot of making an impact on the Posh first team in the coming season, won the contest when taking advantage of a defensive slip before finishing calmly two minutes into the second half.

Sports pressed hard for an equaliser, but Smith made smart stops from Jack Keeble, Ben Beresford, Luca Miller and Michael Richens to preserve the Posh advantage.

Kamara had been denied a first-half goal by a decent stop from home ‘keeper Tom Jackson.
