On Tuesday night, March Town begin their defence of the Hinchingbrooke Cup with a trip to Netherton United before a trip to Daventry Town in the UCL South on Saturday.

Wisbech Town paid their respects to former player and manager Ian 'Jigger' Jones before their home game with Gresley Rovers and then recorded a thumping win by scoring five times in the second half.

Visiting Rovers took the lead in first-half injury-time but it prompted an immediate response from the Fenmen who equalised through Amir Ward two minutes after the restart.

Elliot Foster fired the Fenmen ahead seven minutes later before Sam Murphy, a second goal for Ward and Sam Harris wrapped up a convincing 5-1 victory.

Wisbech have now registered nine goals in their last two games and move up to 16th in the league standings as a result.

Before the game, they confirmed the names of three new signings in Will Lakin, Luke Nicholson and Lewis Arber.

Goalkeeper Lakin is dual-registered with Stamford, Nicholson joins from Holbeach United where he was captain and Arber joins from Bourne Town and is technically excellent and has an eye for goal.

Next weekend, the Fenmen travel to Newark Town.

Wisbech Town: Lakin, Wilson (Cavozzi), Balding, Braham, Mattless, Murphy, Zaluzinskis (Harris), Williams, Foster (Nicholson), Allen, Ward.
