A victory over Ipswich Town saw the Under 18s advance to the knockout phases of the Professional Development League Cup as Group H table-toppers.
Posh overturned a 27-minute deficit as strikes from Eddie Fox, Patryk Sykut, Bolu Shofowoke and George Holley wrapped up a successful group campaign for the Posh youngsters.
Jimmy Unwin’s side arrived in Suffolk knowing that a victory would all-but secure his side’s advancement in the competition; a victory over Luton Town and a point already picked up at Mansfield Town ensured his side only needed to complete their end of the bargain on Friday afternoon.
Winners of the competition in 2023, Friday’s result meant that Posh had to nervously await the result of Mansfield’s clash with Luton on the Saturday to see if they would be in with the chance of recreating the same success this term.
The Stags were the only side capable of clinching top spot, but a defeat in Bedfordshire sealed their fate and Posh advance with the next opponents set to be confirmed in the coming days.
Congratulations lads!
