A tough day on the road saw Wisbech RFC fall 65-19 to Wymondham in their latest league outing.

Wymondham completed a season double over the visitors in a match where Wisbech managed three tries but were largely outplayed.

The first half saw centre MJ Wirght cross the line for Wisbech's only points before Wymondham took control of the match, pulling away with a dominant second-half display.

Director of rugby Leonard Veenendaal said: "It was a frustrating performance from us and we were just not good enough.

"As a club, we are better than this and set ourselves high standards, which we are not achieving at this stage.

"We acknowledge the disappointment amongst our supporters as we are feeling the pressure as much as everyone else who loves this club and its proud traditions which has seen it punch above its weight.

"The unavailability woes and lack of commitment to training is our Archilles heel and only the players can turn it around."

Wisbech’s squad included five under-18 Colts, with selection affected by player availability.

Despite the result, Wisbech showed determination, scoring twice more through Henry Lankfer and Matt Esser.

The team hosts Sudbury 2nd XV on Saturday at 2pm.
