Outwell manager Mark Secker said: “Some of our performances have not been as good as they should be but we have never looked like losing.
“The win against Chatteris was a very good performance - there was a real intensity.
“We’re still missing players. I haven’t played since the first game and a few others have been away. Hopefully they will be back soon.
“We know how hard this league is so we’re taking it game by game.”
