BOSS Paul Crosbie put his March Town United players through their paces as they started pre-season training at the GER on Tuesday.

The squad may have just returned from their holidays but they were expected to do the dreaded Bleep Test, an endurance fitness challenge.

Reserve team manager Paul Blanchflower and under-18s coach Andy Wenn also held training sessions for their respective squads.

The next four sessions will take place at Neale-Wade Academy today (7-9pm), Saturday (11am-12.30pm), Tuesday and next Thursday (both 7-9pm).

The Hares play their first pre-season game away at Cottenham United on July 13.
