Wisbech Town head into the festive weekend bolstered by two new signings - although three have departed the Fenmen camp in turn.
Leon Mettam has added former March Town man Rob Conyard to his ranks as he gears up for a trip to Deeping Rangers next Tuesday (December 27).
Conyard grabbed ten goals in 20 appearances for the Hares this season before his exit, with many of those being scored after emerging from the substitutes’ bench.

Wisbech remain 17th in the United Counties League Premier Division North standings after last Saturday’s clash against Quorn was called off.
They will be given a further boost by the return of Sisa Tuntulwana, who has re-signed on loan from Grantham Town.
Fans will hope the right-sided utility player can repeat the fine form he showed during his first spell at the club.
However, three have left the Fenmen in the build-up to Christmas - with Morgan Penfold, George Zuerner and Kieran Hamilton all heading for the exit doors.
- Meanwhile, Ashley Taylor’s March Town are in pre-Christmas action after their UCL Premier Division South fixture against Godmanchester Rovers was re-arranged for this Friday.
Kick-off will be at 7.45pm at the David Wilson Homes Ground as the Hares get back to normality following their Long Buckby game being called off at the weekend.
March remain sixth in a tightly-congested table, with just six points separating Histon in eighth and Newport Pagnell Town in third.
- Fenland’s Boxing Day fun will come via Parson
Drove, who face a trip to Holbeach United in the Thurlow Nunn League First Division North.
Drove’s planned fixture last Saturday against Leiston Reserves was also postponed due to a frozen pitch, with Arran Duke’s side therefore remaining second-from-bottom going into Christmas.
They are joint on points with basement boys Needham Market U23s, but have played three matches fewer - and could climb above the likes of Debenham LC and Great Yarmouth Town by winning games in hand.
However, that will be easier said than done - so picking up points against 13th-placed Leiston side will be important to avoid being cut adrift.
