Lancaster City cruised to victory at Ossett Albion’s Dimple Wells ground, on a chilly Yorkshire afternoon the team from the Red Rose county simply outclassed and overwhelmed their hapless Yorkshire opponents.

City took the lead after 2 minutes when Johnson’s lob hit the bar, the ball fell to Rushden who centered from close range to Jonson who bundled the ball home. (Alb 0 city1)

It was all one way as City powered down the slope to pile on the pressure, a Kenyon free kick was well saved and other efforts went narrowly wide before Duggan bravely headed home from close range. (Alb 0 City 2)

On the stroke of half time Swarbrick brushed off some feeble defending to make it three. (Alb 0 City 3)

Albion offered absolutely nothing, so Rogerson who was making his debut in the City goal had a very easy first half.

Ossett made 3 changes at half time within 2 minutes they were four down, a Wilson free kick from fully 45 yards was completely misread by the Albion keeper who could only palm the ball into his own net. (Alb 0 City 4)

Albion were then reduced to 10 men when one of the substitutes limped off injured, down to 10 and being hammered. Interest started to wain as it became little more than a training game. City should have scored more but offside, decent goalkeeping and wayward shooting kept the score to four.

It was a relief to all and sundry when the referee brought an end to the game. Easy for Lancaster.
