March Town four wins from Wembley after home FA Vase win
March Town are through to the last 32 of the FA Vase after a 1-0 home win against top Essex Senior League outfit Takeley this afternoon.

The Hares, who are now four wins from a Wembley cup final, will learn who they will play in the next round when the draw is made at around noon on Monday.
In an even first half March played against the strong wind but still created the best chances. They scored the only goal of the match early in the second half when Sam Green slotted home at the back post.
Wisbech Town earned a decent United Counties Premier North point when they drew 1-1 at home to promotion-chasing AFC Mansfield.
