Posh complete season with an away draw

Posh won five and lost 11 of their 23 games in their first season in the competition and finished sixth in their eight-team league.

Kai Corbett tucked away a first-half penalty to equalise an early Colchester goal. Corbett had been fouled to earn the spot-kick.

But the hosts also equalised from the penalty spot in the second-half after defender Charlie O’Connell had nudged Posh in front from a corner.

It took a great save from Posh ‘keeper Will Blackmore three minutes from time to preserve a point.

Posh had lost 2-0 to Ipswich Town in their final home game of the season.
