Perfect 10 for the talented teenagers of Peterborough Roller Hockey Club
Peterborough Roller Hockey Club Under 15s are on course to win an Eastern Counties League title.
The city teenagers made it a perfect 10 wins from 10 games for the season with victories against two Soham sides and Ely & Chesterton United (ECU).
The latter 5-2 win was a crucial one as ECU were regarded as one of Peterborough’s main rivals for top spot.
Peterborough have scored 90 goals in their 10 games and conceded just six for a massive goal difference of +84.
They also beat Soham Light Blues 5-0 and Sohan Dark Blues 7-1 in their latest round of matches.
Peterborough now have one more set of four fixtures to play at Letchworth on May 3 before they can be crowned champions.
The team are no strangers to success or to big matches as they qualified to play in their sport’s equivalent of the Champions League towards the end of last year.
They beat a French team and English rivals Herne Bay and drew with opposition from Switzerland and finished in a creditable 13th place.
