Ploughman have set their sights on becoming a footballing success story for years to come. The new kids on the Peterborough Sunday Morning League block have already signaled their trophies intent by winning their first eight competitive matches. They have shot to the top of the Division Three table and are busy making smart progress in knockout competitions as well.
And they are not afraid to talk up their chances of glory in their debut season either.
Manager and co-founder Liam Robertson, a former top rugby player around here with Oundle, Deeping and Borough, said: “We have a chance to win four trophies this season and we’re going for the lot. “We want the whole shebang and we want to get ourselves up the leagues as quickly as we can. “You need to be up in the Premier Division and Division One to really get recognised and that’s what we are after.”
Ploughman continued their rip-roaring start by booking their place in the third round of the Northants Sunday Shield at the weekend. They overcame fellow locals AFC Bretton (a team they had already dumped out of the PFA Sunday Morning Junior Cup earlier in the season) 4-0. Two of the club’s other founders - Ondre Odain (2) and Gerard Evans - hit the net along with Jake Slater. They are also safely into the last eight of the PFA competition and have the McCain Cup to look forward to later in the season.
Robertson added: “All the lads are from the same circle of friends in the Werrington area and everyone gets on really well. “Myself, Ondre and Gerard knew we had put a decent side together and thought we stood a good chance of doing well, but we never dreamed of starting like this. “Now it’s just a case of keeping our standards high and continuing to pick up the results.
