March Town are spot-on against Eynesbury Rovers while Wisbech Town suffer heavy defeat at Newark and Sherwood United

High-flying March Town moved up to third United Counties Premier South standings last night with a 1-0 home win against Eynesbury Rovers.

But Wisbech Town remain deep in trouble in the United Counties Premier Division North - despite taking the lead - after a heavy 5-2 defeat against Newark and Sherwood United.

Summer signing Dan Cotton's first goal for the Hares from the penalty spot in the second half was good enough to give them the three points as they stretched their unbeaten run to seven games with a fourth successive win.

March: Gill, Green, Brumby, Withers, Emmington, Bucciero (Burrows), Tsagium, Saunders (Seymour-Shove), Gillies (Williams), Tait, Cotton.

On Saturday, March host Division One outfit Retford in the League Cup Preliminary Round.

A first league win continues to elude the Fenmen who have just picked up a solitary point from their opening eight games.

Charley Sanders fired Luke Hipwell's side ahead before the home side scored twice to take a 2-1 lead.

Wisbech restored parity through Elliot Foster going into the break before Newark scored three times without reply in the second half.

The Fenmen had several new faces in their line-up, including both Danny Setchell and Sanders, signed on dual registration from Corby Town, along with Ethan Bojang.

Wisbech: Shackleton, Zaluzinskis (Williams), Harris (Balding), Murphy (Wilson), Matless, Freeman, Foster, Setchell, Sanders, Allen (Reed), Bojang (Cavozzi).

Wisbech entertain struggling Kimberley Miners Welfare in the League Cup on Saturday.
