Towcestrians looked to continue their strong February form, which saw them claim the Northants Alliance Ball of the Month, into March but came up short in this league encounter.

Tows started brightly running in an early try from in form wing Cam Young, converted from the touch by Pepe Nanci to jump into a 7 -0 lead, Peterborough replied with a seven pointer of their own and then took the lead, the visitors no.9 breaking from a scrum to feed the supporting no.8 for the score, with that try converted and a further penalty from Peterborough on the stroke of half time saw Tows turn around 7 - 17 down

The second half mainly consisted of Tows pressure but failing to find the finish against some resolute P'Boro defence, Adam Wilkinson scoring late on for a losing point and a result that Tows will surely regard as a missed opportunity.
