March Town made it a memorable return to the FA Cup with victory over an in-form Norwich United today.
The Hares ran out 2-1 winners in what was a competitive affair, with numerous players impressing against their step five opponents.
Charlie Congreve - Made some important saves throughout a tricky period in the second-half. Showed composure wiser than his age may suggest. Oozed confidence when it mattered most. 9
Jamie Short - Showed signs of attacking intent from full-back whilst tracking back well. 7
Scott Callaghan - Solid addition to the defensive line and forming healthy centre-back partnership with Mattless. Comfortable in possession and always forward-thinking. 8

Max Mattless - Hares captain lead his players by example, especially in times of need. Link with Callaghan proving fruitful with little problem. Apart from the goal, an impressive display. 8
Drew Barker - Tried to assist in attack with regular bursts from full-back, but not as involved as manager may have liked. 6
