Winning start for March but Wisbech St Mary and Wisbech suffer heavy defeats

There were mixed results for our two local sides starting their Thurlow Nunn Eastern Counties League division one north campaigns today.

March Town were not at their best but beat a resolute Great Yarmouth Town side 2-1 at the GER, with the prolific striker Jack Friend netting both goals.

Wisbech St Mary, however, started their campaign with a 6-2 home defeat against Needham Market Reserves, Matthew Harris-Hercules and Ryan Lennon on target for the home side.

Wisbech Town, who do not start their season until next Saturday, lost 4-0 in a friendly at fellow Step 4 side Soham Town Rangers.
