East Men’s Hockey League - Division Five North-West
March Town III 3 City of Peterborough VII 0

Brian Fox doubled their advantage soon afterwards and March survived a sustained period of pressure to preserve their lead until half time.

As the visitors pushed forward March were able to capitalise on holes at the back and a counter attack saw Fox bag his second to secure a commanding victory. The thirds are away to Cambridge South tomorrow.
