If its an alternate week it must be a trip to the Fens. This week we're of to March, not in a "left right left right" fashion but the town of March. This could be a big challenge as March have been efficiently collecting points since their relegation last season. Their only blot coming against Bourne Deeping 2s. They were however 4-1 down at half time to CoP 4s but scored 5 in the second half. It looks like a game with goals in it. Winners will be staking a serious claim for promotion.
Our seconds had a little brouhaha there earlier in the season when March tried to play a first team player in the second team game and he would have made 12. Naughty. They only run two sides these days possibly because its in the middle of the Ely - Peterborough - Kings Lynn triangle which may be like the Bermuda triangle but not so catchy. Can't see Barry Manilow having a hit with that - "Ely-Peterborough-Kings Lynn triangle, makes your tractor disappear......"
The Travelogue --
March is a Fenland market town and civil parish in the Isle of Ely area of Cambridgeshire, England. It was the county town of the Isle of Ely which was a separate administrative county from 1889 to 1965. It is now the administrative centre of Fenland District Council.
The town grew by becoming an important railway centre.
Like many Fenland towns, March was once an island surrounded by marshes. It occupied the second largest "island" in the Great Level. As the land drained, the town grew and prospered as a trading and religious centre. It was also a minor port before, in more recent times, a market town and an administrative and railway centre.
March is situated on the banks of the old course of the navigable River Nene, and today mainly used by pleasure boats.
