A horrible day on all fronts for Moulton Harrox FC

-

They’ve seen better Saturdays at Moulton Harrox FC.

As the first-team were throwing away a big lead in their Peterborou­gh League Senior Cup semi-final before losing on penalties at Premier Division rivals Oakham United, the reserve side were losing for the first time this season in Division Four.

Harrox also looked to be in command of this game against leaders Stamford AFC

Reserves as goals in the first 13 minutes from Martin Sandall and Laurence Price gave them a 2-0 lead.

But Akujobi Chukwumeze from distance and Jacob Poxon from close range made it 2-2 before a 95th minute header from Hayden Theodore delivered all three points to the young Daniels.

Stamford are six points clear of Harrox, but the pursuers have two games in hand.

The senior Harrox side led 4-1 at Oakham before the hosts levelled at 4-4 and took the shootout 5-4. Oakham will now play Warboys Town in the final at Peterborou­gh United FC on May 17.

Results didn’t go the way of fifth-placed Harrox in the Premier Division either as second-placed Stanground Sports pipped Netherton 1-0 and Warboys moved up to third with a 3-0 win over Leveringto­n.

Leaders Uppingham were without a fixture.

Harley Williams scored twice late on against his old club Chatteris Town to deliver a dramatic 2-1 victory in Division One for title favourites Peterborou­gh City.

City are still a point behind leaders Cardea, albeit with a game in hand. Cardea also won 2-1 as Cameron Hibbins and Ryley Nicholson-Barfoot scored at Glinton & Northborou­gh.

Kris Kefford struck a hattrick as FC Hampton closed the gap on inactive Division Two leaders Peterborou­gh Rangers to two points with a 4-3 win at Sutton Bridge.

Whaplode Drove lost ground on the top two after being held 2-2 at Park Farm Reserves. Josh Hutton and Ruben Santos scored for the city side.

Bourne Town A have a 10-point lead at the top of Division Three after a 4-0 success at Long Sutton Reserves. Youth Dreams Project continued their promotion push with a 6-1 romp at Whaplode Drove Reserves. Ian Bradbury and Adrian Tilley scored two apiece for YDP.

Tuesday night Premier Division and Division One scores on the opposite page.
