Peterborough and District Football League round-up




A last-gasp equaliser from Klyden Lleshi edged Crowland Town closer to the summit of the Peterborough League Premier Division table on Saturday.

The Bees had found themselves trailing to two goals from Jake Thornton with 15 minutes of their match remaining at Warboys Town.

Harry Grigas cut the deficit before Lleshi levelled with virtually the last kick of the game for Chris Lyon's side who have suffered just one defeat in their last 23 games in all competitions.
