​Peterborough & Nene Valley AC veterans continued their march towards the final of the Eastern Masters League after finishing second to Cambridge & Coleridge AC in their latest fixture in Cambridge.

​With two of the four fixtures gone PANVAC are leading both the male and female categories in their division. Cambridge & Coleridge AC are second and the top two teams qualify for the finals.

Even with two matches to go the two clubs are so far clear it's unlikely anyone will catch them.
