LEAGUE champions St Albans who are set to play in the National League next year put Wisbech to the sword in their penultimate match of the season.
The visitors took command with two early goals but Sam Blunt pulled one back with a cracking drive through the goalkeeper's legs before half-time.
St Albans played some excellent passing hockey in the second half and ran out comfortable winners, with Drew Harvey scoring a consolation goal from a short corner midway through the period.
Bottom-placed Wisbech are already relegated and play their final match of the season against Bluehearts at 1pm on Saturday.
