On a drizzly afternoon, Warwick's superb run in the FA Vase came to end against a good Wisbech side. Racing almost took a first minute lead when a super cross from Church was headed wide by Kavanagh with the goal gaping. A high line from Wisbech caught Kavanagh and Luke Cole time after time before Church almost got in from a super flick by Cole. Frew struck the upright for the visitors before a brilliant slide tackle by Martin Slevin thwarted the striker's goalbound shot.
With several players missing Warwick looked the better side at the start of the second half and Church got in on the right hand side after a Josh Cole flick-on but fired over before a Luke Cole effort was hit straight at the keeper.
A log ball from Jack Taylor saw Kavanagh outpace the defender to get through on goal but the referee inexplicably blew for a foul and just as it looked like Racing may get on top of their visitors a headed backpass from Hutchcox was chased down by Frew who beat Tom Cross to the ball before squaring to back who poked home.
A Slevin free-kick almost drew the hosts level before Josh Blake was dismissed by the referee a mere 30 seconds after his introduction, in what was another poor decision by the referee.
With the game running out of time a Passey challenge on the outstanding Frew resulted in a penalty which Murphy fired home down the middle.
Warwick had the last effort on target with Kavanagh's shot being saved by the record breaking appearance keeper Paul Bastock using all of his 47 years and hundreds of games experience to superbly block.
Warwick look to bounce back on Tuesday night at Townsend Meadow in the Birmingham Midweek Floodlit Cup against Black Country Rangers before travelling to Heather St John's in the league on Saturday before returning home next Tuesday in the PolyMac League Cup versus Boldmere St Michael's.
