Striker Kurtis Simmons scored a hat-trick as the Posh Under 18s recorded an emphatic 4-1 victory over Queens Park Rangers in the PDL Cup.
The Peterborough United Under 18s bounced back from the FA Youth Cup defeat to Mansfield Town with a comprehensive home win over Queens Park Rangers in the Professional Development League Cup.
Hugh Alban-Jones' side are now second in their group, sitting behind Luton Town after collecting six points from their three games played in the competition.
Simmons, who was on target in the defeat to the Stags at the One Call Stadium, was ruthless with his finishing in front of goal with defender Oliver Arber the other man on target.
Alban-Jones said: "It was a very different game to the FA Youth Cup tie against Mansfield. We had a lot of time out of possession, so we were able to work hard on our press and we did that really well.
"We started the game in positive fashion and opened the scoring early, Kurtis showed his pace and finishing ability after a good pass from Junior Crozier. Kurtis gets himself into goal-scoring positions and he took his other goals well.
"Oliver Arber got the other goal from a set-piece and that is an area that we have worked extremely hard on, We have some routines, the lads take full ownership of those routines, we challenge them to be creative and which ones to use and they are getting their rewards."
