@AFCRD: 2-1 Peterborough, full time. Terrific effort from the young Diamonds, but just tired at the end and Posh had the quality when it mattered.

Great effort lads! ;)

Superb performance by our lads tonight. Especially as Peterborough came with the attitude that it would be easy.

Fitness was the difference and a spark of brilliance from Leo Da-Silva Lopes ([who got man of the match] and who started in Peterborough's final 1st team game of the League One season v Oldham!!! :shock:) got the winner!

No shame in the defeat, great platform to build on. Future looks bright for our football club.

Full report to be on the website soon!

Fantastic effort by our lads last night. Peterborough were technically superior to us (as you'd expect), but our determination and work rate were superb. Could have been a very different ending had the officials spotted their 'keeper shoving Matt Pinder to the ground in the first half, and shown him the red card he deserved, as I think we might have held on against 10 men.

The game reminded me of the FA Youth Cup game against Man Utd, when we again took the lead and looked like we would hold on, only to have victory snatched from our grasp in the final 10-15 minutes.
