Dagenham 13pts
Wisbech 19pts
Wisbech maintained their good form with an excellent win away to complete a double over Dagenham having already beaten them in October in the London Division Three North East.

All of Wisbech's points came in the first 20 minutes without reply.
James Napier was first to cross, just reward after several good performances at the end of last year. Andy Claydon touched down next and Captain Tom Long scored the third. Two of the tries were converted by Mark Laws who is back in the side following a long lay off.

Dagenham slowly got themselves into the game scoring two tries and a penalty but Wisbech were strong enough to hold out and collect an important away win.

The win puts Wisbech back up to third place in the table but still six points off second placed Canvey Island and a game on hand with two home games on consecutive Saturdays.

Coach Steve Drawbridge said: "We were outstanding and played some excellent rugby for the first 35 minutes.

"But we then got complacent and although it was a really good result, we did allow ourselves to get sucked in and dragged down to their level.

"We will need to play for the full 80 minutes when meet West Norfolk this weekend which is another big game for us."

Wisbech will hope to continue to play to this standard and secure the points against West Norfolk this saturday followed by Upminster the following week on February 13, both kick off times will be 2.15pm.

Andy Heighton's seconds travelled to West Norfolk but came up against a strong West Norfolk second string losing 25-0. There were good performances from Iwan Jones and Agris Kokar in the second row and half backs Jack Malkin and Sam Anderson.

Bourne seconds provide the opposition next Saturday kicking off at 12.30pm.
