The side needed help from four second-team players and scored twice in their 4-2 defeat to Horncastle 1sts in Division Three North West on Saturday.
Man of the match Ross Ambler netted, while Liam Lambert notched his opening first-team goal.
However, a lack of communication and defensive mistakes proved pivotal against the joint leaders.
March 2nds were without a fixture, but the ladies’ 1sts earned their first East Women’s League win in style.

March will be out of action until after December 4 at the earliest due to new coronavirus lockdown measures imposed by the government.
