MATCH REPORT: Late agony for City of Peterborough Ladies

City of Peterborough, who started the day in second place, conceded two goals in the final stages to suffer a 3-2 defeat against a team who have now won six out of seven league games.

It was tough on the city ladies who played a full part in a cracking contest and led twice through skipper Lauren Finding and Di Bevan.

Finding struck from a first-half short corner in the first-half, but the home side levelled before the break.

City of Peterborough then spurned several chances before Bevan finally fired them back in front, but Cambridge eventually won the game with a last-gasp strike, which may have been converted, illegally, from outside the ‘D’.

Lucy Dakin was named City of Peterborough’s player-of-the-match for her command of the game and some strong running.

Cit of Peterborough have dropped to fourth place ahead of a home game against unbeaten leaders Dereham at Bretton Gate next Saturday (November 5).
