Cam Kavanagh saved an early penalty for the Hares before Olly Belton whipped in a cross for Olly Hill to put the home side a goal up.

Chanes went begging for the Hares, who were eventually pegged back, before Hill turned provider for Adam Mills to make it 2-1.

A late mistake saw Shelford equalise for a second time against a March side who are waiting to hear if they will be given the three points from the game against Bassingbourne.

"We've stayed in the mix in what is our first season in Senior A."

Wisbech St Mary Development A's hopes of going up suffered a setback in 3B with a 1-0 loss to third-place Beach FC and promotion will now be decided on the final day this weekend.

Marshland Saints are celebrating another promotion after finishing in the runners-up berth in Division Three North of the Anglian Combination.

A 3-1 win over AFC Lynn on Friday night sealed the club's latest elevation.

Manager Jake Gowler said: "If you'd said at the start of the season we would be in a promotion opportunity and a cup final, we would have taken that there and then.

"It’s been a long, tough season for the boys, and they fully deserve promotion.

"To now only be one division off senior football is huge for the club and village. I couldn’t be prouder of the team and the support we've received, not just this season but all the others as well."
