The match was watched by 417 fans at Abbey Lawn in Bourne, the largest crowd for a league match this season and was also Megan Lawlor’s 100th appearance for the club.

Posh moved back into fourth place, ahead of Northampton who were beaten 1-0 by Solihull on Sunday.

They are now level on 36 points with third place Sporting Khalsa, with a game in hand and six points behind Doncaster Belles, who they play in their final game of the season.

Posh travel to Leek Town on Sunday (April 30, 3pm) on what is the final weekend of the season for everyone but them and Doncaster.
