Peterborough United Women avenged last season’s Northants County Cup Final defeat at the hands of Northampton Town in fine style on Sunday.

Posh eased to a 3-0 semi-final win at the home of the Cobblers to continue their outstanding recent form in all competitions. Posh have now won five games in a row.

Goals from Jess Evans, Keir Perkins and Jess Driscoll booked Posh’s place in the Northants Final for the third season in a row. They will play Northampton Town’s Development squad in the final.

Evans struck from a fifth-minute Rachel Lawrence corner before Driscoll polished off a delicious cross from Perkins for 2-0 early in the second half.

Perkins netted her inevitable goal from distance in the closing stages after a long spell of pressure against their National Midlands Division One rivals.

Posh are next in action at Lincoln City on Thursday night (February 23) in a National League match.
