Hide AdIt’s been quite the season so far for Warboys Town. The side co-managed by Simon Flanz and Lea Jordan are nine points clear at the top of Peterborough League Division One and last weekend they claimed a higher-level scalp in the Hunts Cup by taking out Eynesbury United on penalties following a goalless draw.
“We even had five first-team players missing,” a delighted Flanz said. Goalkeeper Riley Larham was the spot-kick hero in a shootout won 5-4 by Warboys.
Peterborough Polonia and Peterborough City maintained perfect winning records in Peterborough Division Two.
Polonia completed a seventh straight win by beating Stanground Sports 6-3, while it’s six out of six for City following a 3-1 win over Stamford Bels Reserves.
