A perfect couple of days for double-seeking Cardea

Cardea FC enjoyed a couple of perfect days.

The club won the Peterborough League’s Challenge Cup Final with a 5-2 success against fellow Division One side Deeping United at Deeping Rangers FC.

And less than 24 hours later title rivals Peterborough City slipped to a shock 3-2 defeat at Huntingdon-based Eunice.

The title is now back in

Cardea’s hands. They are third, eight points behind City, but with three games in hand.

Giles Abban, Kyle Ginns, Ian King, Thomas Klinkovics and Kieran Hart scored the cup final goals.

Whaplode Drove Rovers confirmed promotion from Division Two with a 2-0 at Oakham United Reserves in their final game. Kane Gilbert and William Knight scored the goals.

Already promoted Peterborough Rangers will win the Second Division title by picking up a maximum of two points from their final two games.

Stamford AFC Reserves won the top-of-the-table clash in Division Four, 2-0 at Peterborough City Reserves with goals from Akujobi Chukwumeze and Tyler Savage.

Stamford are back on top, but only on goal difference from Moulton Harrox Reserves who won 4-2 at Elsea Park Eagles.

PREMIER DIVISION

Moulton Harrox won two big away games to assume control of the Peterborough Premier Division title race.

Harrox won a top-of-thetable battle 2-1 at Warboys Town at the weekend thanks to goals from Declan Earth and Nathan Smith. Earth then hit a hat-trick in a 4-2 Tuesday win at Leverington.

Stanground Sports lost ground after a 3-2 midweek defeat at home to leaders Uppingham. Harrox are level on points with the reigning champions, but have two games in hand.

Netherton United breathed life into their relegation battle with a 1-0 win at Tydd with Josh Moreman scoring the only goal. Tydd also lost a Tuesday humdinger 6-5 to Crowland.

Netherton remain bottom, but are level on points with Oundle who have suffered a points deduction. Ramsey and Sawtry are a point ahead of both. Netherton and Ramsey only have one game left.
