Title favourites have revenge on their minds this weekend

Football - Peterborough Sports are back in action at the Bee Arena

Peterborough Sports will have revenge on their minds when Aylesbury visit the Bee Arena for a Division One Central match in the Evo Stik Southern League on Saturday (3pm).

Table-topping Sports have only lost two league games this season, but one was a shock 1-0 reverse at Aylesbury in October.

The city side host the return game boasting a onepoint lead at the top and failure against the team third from bottom is now unthinkable.

“A lot of things went wrong atAylesbury,”SportsbossJimmy Dean recalled. “We had a few players missing, we didn’t play well and we had a perfectly good goal disallowed.

“We probably edged the game, but credit to Aylesbury who played very well. Complaceny is a concern of mine right now, but I can’t see that being a problem on Saturday.

“Our next three games are against teams we have dropped points against so we know what will happen if we are not on our game.”

Sports star Josh Moreman sits out the second game of his three-match ban on Saturday andpowerful midfielder Jim Stevenson is unavailable. Dan Lawlor, who had a two-goal run-out for Sports Development in the Peterborough League at the weekend, comes back into the side.

Bromsgrove have played three more games than Sports so Dean believes third-placed Corby Town are a bigger title threat. Corby host Sports on March 2.

Yaxley’s scorers in an entertaining game against Bromsgrove were Charley Sanders, Matt Sparrow and Tom Waumsley.

The Cuckoos seek a first win of 2019 at high-flying Didcot Town on Saturday.
