Georgie Dunn was twice the hero as Wisbech Town kicked off 2015 with back to back wins.
Dunn scored a deflection from a penalty corner in Wisbech’s 1-0 win over Lincoln on Saturday.
The following day, Dunn again struck from a penalty corner in a 1-0 win over Norwich city in the Ladies’ Trophy. They take on Spalding in the next round on February 8.
Captain Leanne Williamson, reflecting on the Lincoln win, said: “I thought we played excellently considering the lack of training we’ve had due to weather and Christmas. We were always in control of the game.”
Williamson says Wisbech, who are fifth in East Women’s Division 1N, have set themselves a promotion target.
She said: “We are still aiming for promotion so we will be pushing hard for maximum points out of every game from here on in, despite losing a couple of players over the Christmas break to injury and work commitments.”
In East Men’s Division 2N, March Town men returned from the Christmas break with a 4-3 win over Cambridge University 3.
