Wisbech Town FC are oozing confidence ahead of the new season as they kept their unbeaten friendly campaign intact.

A 2-2 draw at step four Biggleswade on Saturday meant the Fenmen remained undefeated during their pre-season schedule ahead of the Northern Premier League Division One Midlands season.

Wisbech were a goal down at half-time, but strikes from Eoin McQuaid and Avelino Vieira propelled the visitors into a second half lead before being pegged back late on.

“I thought it was a pretty even game,” Chris Lenton, assistant manager, told Wisbech Town TV.

“I thought after the second half performance, we probably shaved it and could have nicked a third.

“We started poorly, probably the worst we’ve played in a first half in pre-season; I think we lost a bit of shape and, to be fair, Biggleswade were bright.”

It was not in defence that Wisbech were impressive throughout their pre-season programme, but in attack, too.

They managed to score in each of their seven fixtures, including against step three opposition, while it has also been a chance to experiment with different players and tactics.

“When we got in at half-time (at Biggleswade), we spoke about how we could improve and we look to get higher up the pitch,” Lenton said.

“Sam Murphy and other midfielders got involved, we kept possession well and with Avi Vieira coming on, it made a big difference.

“I’m satisfied with a 2-2 draw, disappointed we didn’t win but it’s been a good pre-season to go undefeated so I’m happy to go into the weekend confident to get three points.”
