The only blemish in a dominant campaign arrived early on against Bishop’s Stortford.

City, who are averaging almost five goals a game and have conceded fewer than one goal per match, host Broxbourne at Bretton Gate on Saturday (4pm).

City of Peterborough Ladies are involved in a very different fight and they have a crucial game at Bretton Gate on Saturday (1pm).

The city side are third from bottom in the East Premier Division and host Broxbourne (1pm), the team just below them.

City were in an even worse position at this stage of last season, but promptly enjoyed a superb run of form to climb the table.
