Peterborough NS 3 Eynesbury Rovers 0
ILLNESS hit Rovers as their two-game winning streak ended with a bump at Northern Star.
The visitors were forced into changes when James Dove and Kris Watters were confined to the sick bed, being replaced by David Goodhall and Peter Collins.
Player-manager Dean Shipp needed to be alert in goal early on when he pushed one effort over the bar and gathered another shot.
Dan Woodhead cleared a home effort off the line as the pressure mounted but Eynesbury went in level at half-time.
