It’s been a great week for Wisbech St Mary A who followed up Wednesday evening’s Cambs Lower Junior Cup Final victory by going top of the table on Saturday.
Cambs County League 4B outfit Saints were up against Soham United Youths Mens at Histon’s Bridge Road Stadium and won 3-2, Billy Barnes, Pawel Kaluzny and Josh Williams scoring.
Three days later they won 5-0 at Chatteris Town A to go top of the table with four games remaining, Billy Barnes, Tom Chilton Snr (2), Jordan Adebisi and an own goal doing the damage.
In the same division, March Academy beat Wisbech Town Acorns 4-0 on Saturday, Jack Conyard scoring twice to make it 18 for the season and Callum Kirby and sub Maison Smithers also on target.
Bottom of the table Outwell Swifts Reserves were beaten 6-1 at home by Hartford Rangers Reserves on Saturday and 5-1 at home by Mepal and Sutton Mens Reserves on Wednesday, when Shae Waters was on target.
It’s not been a good week for Wisbech St Mary’s first team, beaten twice at home. On Tuesday, Lucas Ablett scored but subs Callum Taylor and Andy Willmott were both red carded as they lost 2-1 to Over Sports. And on Saturday, West Wratting beat them 3-2 after they had led 2-0 after 12 minutes, Freddie Collison and Robbie Knight on target.
March Town Reserves are back in the Senior B promotion spots after a win and a defeat last week. They were beaten 1-0 at home by Great Shelford Reserves on Tuesday but bounced back to win 4-1 at home to St Ives Town Reserves on Saturday.
Harry Powley smashed in the first before Liam Monaghan got on the end of a corner to hook the ball home from six yards to make it 2-0. A Josh Bryant header made it three before the break. St Ives got one back from a penalty but a cool finish from Seb Goldspink sealed the victory.
Goals from Fred Fisher, Micah Baxter and Chev Dixon were not enough as bottom-of-the-table March Town A lost 6-3 at Exning United in 1B after losing 4-1 at home to Great Paxton in midweek, Kieran Venni netting. Chatteris Town Reserves were beaten 6-0 at Hartford Rangers, four days after a 2-1 home loss to Needingworth United, sub Joe Stead scoring but Harley Edwards sent off.
Outwell Swifts are homing in on a third successive promotion and a league and North Cambs Junior Cup double. After securing the Cup earlier in the month, a 2-0 win over Wisbech St Mary Reserves moved them up to third place in 2B, still with games in hand over the top two.
Goals from Ross Beart and Brandon Hedge’s 31st of the season means they now need a maximum 14 points from six games to secure the title and 10 points at the most for promotion.
On Thursday evening, Manea United drew 1-1 at home to Wisbech St Mary Reserves, Lewis Hearn scoring for Manea and an own goal for Saints.

Tydd battled hard against high-flying Warboys and held them for 75 minutes, hitting the post twice before conceding two quick goals, Brad Easy pulling one back with five minutes left.
On Tuesday Tydd drew 0-0 at home with Deeping Rangers Reserves while Leverington won 1-0 at Holbeach United Reserves, Josh Balding scoring.
In Division One Chatteris Town kept their promotion hopes alive by scoring 25 goals in two massive home wins against bottom four sides, beating Peterborough Polonia 14-0 in midweek and Wittering Premiair Reserves 11-0 on Saturday.
