Wisbech Wildcats put in a performance to remember as they laid siege on their local rivals in the Eastern Counties League.

The Men in Red scored eight tries to beat March Bears 46-5 in Division Two West at Harecroft Road on Saturday.

After three unanswered tries, Wisbech continued to pressurise amid a mini comeback from the visitors to ram home five more tries, Jack Obey scoring a hat-trick.

Obey was one of several youngsters to shine for the hosts, including 18-year-old Luke Hare as well as veteran Skippy Parsons who won the Round Table man of the match award.

Head coach Gerhard Wessels said: “The boys went out there and they put our game on the park.

“They rode out some periods where we were under some heavy momentum from a spirited March side.”

Wildcats visit Newmarket 2nds on October 23, 3pm.

Wisbech’s first team beat Woodbridge 63-12 in the London 3 Division on Saturday, George Overland named man of the match on his debut.

They go to Fakenham this Saturday.
