Peterborough play Newport in the Southern Semi-final of the Johnsons Paint Trophy.
Newport have just been beaten in the FA Cup by Kidderminster, ironically the Posh's next opponents in the same competition.
The same team that beat Tranmere 5-0 is likely to play, making a Posh win probable and a trip to Wembley even more possible.
UTP!

Through to the Southern Area Final against Swindon with a satisfying 3-0 win.
Well done Posh - further evidence of our back-to-start-of-season form.

Swindon fan in peace.
Should be a decent area final...I'd make you favourites but I'd see it as being close if we get a reasonable result at your place in the first leg.
Some people rubbish the JPT, I'm not one of them. It's a decent source of income and great for any lower league player to play at Wembley.

Hi Don, it should be a goodie. We only just beat you at the beginning of the season at London Road, and you are currently in good form. The games are in February so who knows what our respective teams' forms will be then. Regardless, however, we are two good teams and our area final would probably have made the best Wembley final as the northern teams left aren't much cop. Looking forward to our games

Hi Thorney, I went to the JPT final 2 years ago...we lost to Chesterfield who were a league above but going down as we were going up. We expected to win but Canioman meddled with the team and we lost 0-2. We were poor on the day but the overall experience with friendly rival fans was a good one.
