Promotion-chasing sides Peterborough Sports, Stamford AFC and Yaxley refuse to let Storm Dennis blow them off course
Not even Storm Dennis could blow the promotion-chasing local non-league sides off course today (February 15).
Peterborough Sports collected another eye-catching result in the Premier Division Central of the Southern League with a 3-0 win at Nuneaton Borough.
Josh Moreman scored twice with Cameron Johnson also on target at Sports moved to within two points of top spot.
It’s four wins on the spin for Sports since their shock home defeat at home to Hitchin.
And Yaxley are going great guns in Division One Central as they bounced back from a disappointing draw at rock-bottom Wantage in midweek to make it six wins in seven league games with a 4-2 home success over Kidlington.
The Cuckoos are now sixth and just three points off the play-offs after goals from Charley Sanders, Dan Jarvis, Thomas Waumsley and Jake Battersby. Yaxley were 4-0 up after 53 minutes.
And it was also a great day for Stamford AFC who beat Northern Premier League South East Division promotion rivals Stocksbridge Park Steels 3-0 at the Zeeco Stadium in front of almost 300 fans.
Tom Siddons, Rob Morgan and Jordan Cooke scored the second-half goals that moved the second-placed Daniels to within five points of first place.
All United Counties League matches involving local clubs were postponed apart from Bourne Town’s game at Aylestone in Division One which the Wakes lost 5-0.
