Third win on the trot for March Town but home defeats for Wisbech Town and Parson Drove
March Town made it six games without defeat and recorded a third successive win as they despatched Hinckley 3-1 at home in the United Counties Premier South this afternoon.
But Wisbech Town remain in the United Counties Premier Division North relegation zone after a 2-1 home defeat against fellow strugglers Hucknall Town.
Parson Drove also lost at home, 3-0 to one of the Thurlow Nunn First Division North title favourites Haverhill Rovers.
March are fourth in the table after victory over mid-table Hinckley. Ben Tait’s first goal for The Hares after nine minutes saw them lead 1-0 at the break and Matty Foy and Jack Withers wrapped up the win in the second half, either side of an 80th minute effort by Isa Abraham for the visitors.
March Town: Gill, Green, Brumby, Burrows (Withers), Emmington, Foy, Tsaguim (Escorcio), Tate, Gillies (Cotton), Biggs (Saunders), Williams (Bucciero). Star man: Matt Foy. Attendance: 262
March entertain fifth-place Eynesbury Rovers on Tuesday before Division One high-fliers Retford are the visitors in the League Cup Preliminary Round next Saturday.
Wisbech are starting to show a bit of form under new manager Luke Hipwell, but after picking up their first point of the season in midweek, lost at home today. New signing Niall Shackleton, who formerly played for Kettering Town, was in goal after Spalding United recalled Jake West for their FA Cup game.
After a goalless first half, Michael Frew gave the Fenmen a 50th minute lead but the visitors equalised 16 minutes later through Luis Parkes and secured the win in the 77th minute through Niall Towle. Wisbech hit the bar five minutes into added-on time and then saw a last-gasp penalty saved.
Wisbech Town: Shackleton, Wilson (Reed 80), Balding, Zaluzinskis, Mattless, Harris, Foster (Lines 83), Williams (Braham 73), Frew, Allen, Cavozzi (Aguilar 53).
Wisbech travel to play mid-table Newark & Sherwood United in the league on Tuesday evening and then entertain struggling Kimberley Miners Welfare in the League Cup on Saturday.
Parson Drove are down to 14th after a fourth home defeat out of four this season, all seven of their points coming on their unbeaten travels.
This afternoon it was the turn of unbeaten Haverhill Rovers to win at Main Road, Ryan Twinn, dual-registered March attacker Ben Seymour-Shove and Luke Lindsay on target for the visitors. Another dual-registered Hare, Luis Cowie, came off the bench for Rovers in the second half.
Drove are in league action at sixth-place Holbeach United on Wednesday evening before entertaining third-from-bottom Needham Market Reserves next Saturday.
Parson Drove: Brazil, Stewart, Catt, Lilley, Thirkell, Kyereme, Adiado, Taylor, Kingston, Kent, Gaye.
