Basford looked a slick attacking outfit as they won 3-2 at struggling Stamford AFC today.

Liam Marshall briefly pulled Stamford level at the Zeeco Stadium, but they were 3-1 down at the break so Curtis Hartley’s 62nd minute strike turned out to be a consolation for the team in 17th.

March Town enjoyed an impressive 4-0 win at home to Dereham Town Reserves. Jack Brand, Toby Allen, Max Matless and Rob Conyard scored for The Hares.
