MATCH REPORT: City's leading non-league club stun Peterborough United in county cup semi-final
Posh fielded two professionals in Maltese youth international Andrew Borg and defender Sam Carwright, but were outplayed by a team from the Peterborough District Youth League.
Sports were 2-0 up early on through Jack Eldrige and Kian Meadows and were largely untroubled until the last kick of the game when Posh pulled a goal back.
Jamie Scott and Henry Nkobi were outstanding for Sports.

“Full credit to the manager, his staff & all his players who made it a special night for the club and one I’ll admit I thouroughly enjoyed.”
Sports knocked out another full-time professional outfit Northampton Town in the quarter-final. They will take on AFC Rushden & Diamonds in the final later this season.
