Swaffham go "Marching" in

Another 'super-six' from the Pedlars to move them up the table to fourth position.Seven minutes into the game, a mistake by the March centre half, let in Dean Miller to open the Swaffham account.The homeside imediately countered on the retake, solid defending by Matthew Parkinson limiting damage to a corner which was subsequently cleared.? Opportunities for the Pedlars, Alex Vincent denied by the keeper and Joe Johnson's effort wide showing that there were chances that needed to be converted.? The second came in the 27th minute, a great driving run by Vincent, his cross box ball cleared but only to be returned by the sweetest of strikes from Jack Redhead.? He thumped the ball low and hard from 35 yards, the shot going in from the inside of the post, Swaffham's goal of the season to date!? Jackson finally got on the score sheet?just after the half hour,?a great win from Loui Hockton, setting him free, his strike from the edge of the box flashing past the keeper.? Hope for the Hares two minutes later, Swaffham loosing the ball in mid-field, a hit and run ball met first by the March centre forward, his placing leaving Scott Cruickshank no chance.? Recharged, March took the initiative and applied pressure, bringing the best out of Cruickshank and limiting further damage to the balance of scores.? Jackson brought down in the box on the stroke of half time, Redhead placing into the bottom left corner for his second.
Early pressure from March at the restart, the Swaffham back four soaked up the pressure and standing strong.? A free kick drifted in by the Hares number 11, taken high in the air by Cruickshank, his early release setting free Redhead down the right flank, the delivery, short into the box met by Lee Woolmore to side foot home.? Just rewards for Vincent, a good build up through the Pedlars mid-field, Jackson beating his defender, passing to his striking partner to net.??The Pedlars providing the performance that they have aspired to in the previous months, their effort and hard work now paying dividends.?
