Kai stars in comfortable win at Yaxley for Peterborough United under 21s, fixture at Deeping Rangers on Tuesday

Striker Corbett, a former West Ham United player, scored from the penalty spot and assisted in other goals from Roddy McGlinchey and Idris Kanu. First-team squad member Kanu is transfer listed and didn’t travel with the first team to Portugal.

Posh manager Matthew Etherington changed his entire XI at half-time with his side 3-0 ahead and the second half featured a multitude of trialists as well as a first year scholar.

“The first half team was obviously a lot stronger than the second half team and they applied themselves really well and got into a very comfortable position at half-time,” Etherington said: “We scored some good goals and the lads did what was asked of them.

“It got a little fragmented in the second half because we took the opportunity to have a look at a few trialists and one or two younger players including a first year scholar. It was a good start to pre-season though and we look forward to what is to come.”

Posh 1st half: Blackmore, Bodnar, Trialist, Thomas, Powell, Hickinson, McGlinchey, Harris, Oluwabori, Corbett, Kanu.

Posh 2nd half: Laycock, Trialist, Trialist, Trialist, Tonge, Lamb, Challinor, Trialist, Trialist, Darlington, Paintsil.

Posh have added a friendly fixture at Deeping Rangers on Tuesday (July 12, 7.30pm) after a scheduled private game was cancelled by the opposition.

Posh are also at League Two side Stevenage on Wednesday (7.30pm).

Posh under 21s also have local friendlies scheduled at Stamford AFC on Tuesday, July 19 (kick off time to be confirmed) and Spalding United on Friday, July 29 (7pm).
