LADIES FOOTBALL: Away win for Posh
They won 2-0 away at Earls Barton to move up to seventh in the table.
After half-an-hour of end-to-end football, in which Lia Richardson and Jeorgia Carr did well to create chances for Posh, it was the visitors who eventually found the back of the net.

Earls Barton came close to equalising early in the second half but in the 78th minute Peterborough made the game safe with their second goal.
A firm diagonal ball played by Stefanie Thorne ruled out two Earls Barton defenders and found the excellent feet of Richardson and she calmly placed the ball bottom-left of the keeper.
Overall this was a solid team performance from Peterborough.
