Werrington Athletic win one cup but crash out of another
Junior football - Peterborough Youth League
Werrington Athletic Blue Under 15s became the first of this season’s trophy winners at the weekend.
They took the honours in the Peterborough Youth League KO Cup final after a marathon penalty shoot-out against Division One rivals Holbeach United Yellow at Yaxley FC.
They won 8-7 on spot-kicks after the game finished all square at 1-1 with Samuel Gardiner on target for Werrington and James Clark scoring for Holbeach.
Hopes Werrington had of winning a second trophy were dashed 48 hours later when they suffered a 4-0 defeat at the hands of Peterborough Sports in the PFA Cup quarter-finals.
Sports strolled through thanks to goals by Shaun Bradley, Marcus Goymour, Joelyn Cobb and Kyle Rowell.
Holbeach bounced back from their KO Cup final disappointment to win their quar- ter-final 8-2 against Deeping Claret with Clark and Joshua Ling both firing doubles.
Gunthorpe Harriers Navy won Sunday’s big Under 16 game. They scored twice in the last five minutes to beat Division One title rivals and league leaders Peterborough Sports 4-3.
Andrew Irvine, Zach Findley, Oluwatomi Ogunyoye and Harrison Skinner scored for Gunthorpe while Sports had Bradley Gilbert and Taylor Stewart sent off towards the end of the match after Navy had hit the front.
Sports stay top but they are now just a point ahead of Gunthorpe, who have four games in hand.
Glinton & Northborough Blue Under 18s are through to the semi-finals of the Northants Cup after beating Kettering Ise Lodge 1-0 with a Jake Peachey goal.
