The home side won a quarter-final tie 3-0. The Tulips suffered a key injury with Jordan Lemon suffering a broken arm.

Peterborough Sports’ slow summer continued with a 4-1 friendly defeat at lower level Newmarket, but there were mitigating circumstances. A traffic accident forced the kick-off to be delayed and Sports were anyway fielding a depleted side.

Josh Moreman scored their consolation goals.
