LATEST NEWS: Long wait for glory for City of Peterborough, Bourne Deeping Ladies clinch the title in style with a 17-goal salvo!

City need to win their final game at lowly Chelmsford to clinch the East Premier A Division title and a National League place for the first time in five years.

City were supposed to travel to Chelmsford last Sunday (March 18), but were beaten back by the weather.

There’s a slim chance City could clinch the title this Sunday (March 25) without playing, but that would require sole challengers St Albans to lose at home to relegation-threatened Spalding. Spalding have three games in which to make up three points on fellow strugglers Ipswich, but they also have a tough game on Saturday, at home to Harleston.

Leaders Bourne Deeping seconds lost a huge game in Division Three North West last weekend. They went down 4-2 to second-placed Kettering who are now just a point behind with a game in hand.

In the same section City of Peterborough 5ths beat Spalding thirds 4-0 in a key relegation battle.

City of Peterborough fourths helped their clubmates by beating struggling Spalding seconds 3-0.

Wisbech thirds maintained their promotion push in Division Five North West with a 4-2 win over leaders Kettering seconds. Elliott Peck grabbed a hat-trick.

City of Peterborough Ladies firsts saw both their scheduled games last weekend postponed. They try again against Canterbury seconds at Bretton Gate on Saturday (11.30am) in a match that could well determine who finishes second.

City of Peterborough seconds moved up to second in Division Two North West after a 1-1 draw at Alford, while Bourne Deeping thirds made sure of the Division Three North West title in style with a 17-1 win over March! Sophie Brittain scored eight with Izzie Oakley claiming a hat-trick.

City of Peterborough thirds beat Cambridge City fourths, the team, who started the day in second place, 2-1 thanks to late short corner goals from Lisa Cave and Kirsten Hackett. City goalkeeper Charlie Exton played superbly.
