2014-15 Season
The club began the season with the aim of qualifying for the England Handball play-offs, and with that a passage into the newly created national leagues below the top-level Super 8. While an early poor performance against Cranfield HC lead to a heavy defeat, Peterborough HC bounced back superbly to defeat Ipswich to bring 2014 to a close.
