All the goals at Corby Town FC arrived in the first 30 minutes with Posh midfielder Jess Driscoll equalising an early Cobblers goal within 60 seconds.

But it was Cobblers who found the crucial third goal and Posh couldn’t quite get back on terms despite a committed display.

Cobblers took the lead on six minutes when Eden Brown headed a free kick home from close range.

Driscoll levelled with a close ranger header from an Aylmer corner within 60 seconds, but she then missed a great chance to score again from an identical position.

Cobblers took advantage to get back in front through Alex Dicks in the 27th minute.

Posh pushed hard for an equaliser with Cassie Steward denied by a good save, while Keir Perkins and Hannah Hipwell both saw efforts blocked by defenders. Perkins the missed a great late chance.
