City of Peterborough lost their final match of the season 4-2 at home to Bedeford seconds, but they can still be proud of a fine fourth placed finish.

All six goals arrived in the second-half with Bedford racing into a 3-0 lead in the opening 15 minutes before Tierney Augustine, with a well-taken goal, and top scorer Robyn Gribble reduced the arrears to one.

But Bedford broke away to score again in the final stages.

Anna Faux won the City player-of-the-match award for a hard-running midfield performance that also featured some fine passing.
