Peterborough Sports have the ideal opportunity to bounce back from a rare United Counties Premier Division loss when they host lowly Boston Town at PSL tonight.
Sports lost for just the second time this season at second-placed Eynesbury on Saturday (October 29). The home side won the game late on with a stunning strike from distance.
