Peterborough Sports in FA Cup

Despite a plethora of lower-league teams still in the competition, we will have to face Step 2 opposition when we enter this season’s FA Cup in the second qualifying round.

Our opponents on Saturday, Sept 14, are Peterborough Sports from National League north but at least we are at home which gives us more than a fighting chance in what could be an extremely tight game.

The Turbines have won two, drawn one and lost three of their first six games of the season and are currently in 18th place.

The fixture sets us up to try and gain revenge for that dramatic defeat in the competition four years ago when we drew 2-2 at Sports in the first qualifying round, only to agonisingly lose on penalties.
