City of Peterborough men back on top and the remarkable first team records at Bourne Deeping
Gareth Andrew struck twice as City of Peterborough returned to the top of the East Premier Division table.
City started their late afternoon game against Blueharts at Bretton Gate knowing a win would take them back to the summit following a first defeat of the season for KIng’s Lynn-based Pelicans earlier in the day.
And the city side made no mistake as Josh Compton and Andrew bagged first-half goals and Adam Wilson and Andrew scored after the break to complete a 4-0 win.
Andrew maintained his record of scoring in every Premier Division game.
The veteran now has 13 goals in seven games ahead of a trip to lowly Dereham this Saturday.
Ladies first team sharpshooter Tierney Augustine was also on target again, but her goal proved to be a consolation as St Albans seconds left Bretton Gate with a 2-1 Premier Division victory.
The visitors were 2-0 up at the interval, but were under siege in the second-half, especially after a brilliant finish from Augustine.
City are eighth ahead of a trip to ninth-placed Norwich Dragons this Saturday.
