The ChromaSport Peterborough and District Football League returns this weekend as an end of season cup competition kicks off.
With the COVID-19 lockdown resulting in the null and voiding of the leagues, clubs have voted to take part in voluntary cup competitions that begin this weekend.
Training started last week with the first friendlies having taken place at the weekend.
