EASTERN COUNTIES DIVISION ONE

Thurston 8

Wisbech 45

WISBECH maintained the pressure at the top of the league, with a good away win at Thurston.

The Fenmen scored seven tries and conceded their first in five matches, since conceding against Woodbridge at the start of last month.

Coach Steve Drawbridge called up reserves Pete Lankfer and Dave Salmon, both of whom acquitted themselves well. They were interspersed with James Corriete and Tom Paybody, making their debuts.

Tries were scored by Corriete, Will Pettit, Rudi Van de Merwe (2), James Comben, Andy Hoyles and James Napier. Pettit also kicked five conversions.

Man-of-the-match went to prop James Griffen, who was outstanding in the loose and the tight.

The victory set the Fenmen up nicely for tomorrow's trip to Stockwood Park, in the fifth round of the EDF Energy Junior Vase.

n A PLAYERS' and supporters' coach has again been organized. Anyone requiring tickets should call Bob the Barman on 01945 481500.
