WISBECH men's first team secured their first East Premier B win of the season on Saturday, defeating Crostyx 3-2 at home.

The Wisbech attacks were thwarted by fine goalkeeping but they finally made the breakthrough with a superbly-taken goal from Brad Apted.

Defensive errors allowed Crostyx to equalise but another brilliant goal from Apted restored Wisbech's lead before Matt Levanda made it 3-1 before the break.

Richard Claxton hit the bar in the second half and, as the home side tired, Crostyx pulled a late goal back but Wisbech held on to the three points.

Karl Humbles struck to open the scoring but after Ryan Blunt was yellow-carded, Exiles took advantage to equalise in the second half.

Both sides pushed for the winner but it was the visitors who snatched the points with a late goal.
