The United Counties Premier Division title fancies beat a highly-rated Wisbech Town side 2-0 in their opening League fixture on Tuesday (August 8). It was an outstanding all-round performance from a team keen to improve on last season’s second-placed finish and a big step-up from a 3-2 win at Peterborough Northern Star in the extra preliminary round of the FA Cup.

“We’ve set ourselves a very high standard now,” Goode enthused. “We were outstanding all over the pitch.”
