Away win makes it three out of three for March Town, but Wisbech Town and Parson Drove are beaten




March Town made it three league wins out of three as they were victorious on the road this afternoon, but there were defeats for Wisbech Town and Parson Drove.

The Hares won 3-1 at Daventry Town in the United Counties League Premier Division South. They took the lead in the 17th minute after a good finish by Declan Rogers but were pegged back six minutes after the break.

Substitute Jermaine Watson made it 2-1 in the 85th minute and, with the home side throwing everything at an equaliser, March broke to wrap up the points with a third in the seventh minute of added-on time from Josh Burrows.

In the United Counties League Premier Division North, Wisbech Town fell to their first defeat of the season, beaten 2-0 at home to newly-promoted Ashby Ivanhoe, who netted in the 24th and 73rd minutes.

Meanwhile, it was a day to forget for ten-men Parson Drove, beaten 9-0 at Stanway Pegasus in the Thurlow Nunn Eastern Counties League First Division North, after having a player sent off early in the match for a deliberate handball in front of goal.

On Wednesday night, a healthy crowd of 180 watched Drove progress in the League Cup, beating Swaffham Town at home 6-5 on penalties after a 1-1 draw. Evander Jose was on target.

Second-placed March entertain bottom-of-the-table Eynesbury Rovers in the UCL South on Tuesday evening before early leaders St Neots Town are the visitors next Saturday.

Wisbech’s next game is at home to Biggleswade Town in the FA Cup Preliminary Round next Saturday, while Drove are at home to Sudbury Reserves on Wednesday and visit FC Peterborough next Saturday.
