Three goals in the final 20 minutes powered in-form Yaxley into the semi-finals of the Hinchingbrooke Cup last night (January 23).

Hosts Peterborough Northern Star competed well against their United Counties Premier Division rivals, but couldn’t cope with a strong finish from the Cuckoos who have still lost just one competitive match under current boss Andy Furnell.

It was fairly even until Yaxley took the lead through Tom Waumsley following a 71st-minute corner and the same player bundled home from close range four minutes later after another cross into the Star penalty area.
