WISBECH men's first team produced a fine second half display to beat Cambridge City II in their friendly fixture on Saturday.

Wisbech got off to a slow start and found themselves 1-0 down within two minutes.

However, the visitors gradually got back in to the game and got back on to level terms with a goal from Jon Shippey.

Matt Levanda found the net before Shippey completed his hat-trick to put Wisbech 4-1 up.

Despite two goals from Cambridge in the closing minutes, Wisbech held on for a good win.

Goals from Alex Green and Joe Prestidge put Wisbech ahead, but Lynn twice came back to equalise and level at 2-2 before the break. Despite the sending off of skipper Lee Peck, Wisbech continued to play well and scored a winning goal through Mark Littlechild.

The third team completed a fine weekend for Wisbech when they also recorded a friendly victory, this time beating a Pelicans III side 4-2.

Solomon Prestidge got Wisbech off to a flying start with a goal within three minutes and the home side continued to heap pressure on to the visitors' defence throughout the match.

Chris Ball and Karl Humbles both got on to the scoresheet and Wisbech never looked like losing the game.
