Stilton United suffered an agonising defeat in the Hunts Intermediate Cup Final at St Ives Town FC last night (March 22).

A last-minute goal from Matt Barber forced a 3-3 draw for Stilton against Huntingdon United to take the match into penalties, but the Peterborough League Premier Division side lost that shootout 5-3.

Earlier Lewis McManus had given Stilton an early lead, but it took a Jason Kilbride goal to make it 2-2 at the break.

Peterborough United’s Ladies Foundation team made a mockery of the divisional standings in the Cambs Womens League. The unbeaten Division Three leaders thumped Cardea, the team currently second in Division One, 7-2 in a League Cup quarter-final tie at the Nene Valley Community Centre to set up a mouthwatering semi-final against Division One leaders Netherton United next month. Both teams have perfect playing records this season.

Netheron won their quarter-final win at Premier Division rivals Cambridge University 2-0 with Emily Johnson scoring twice.
