Lancaster City’s 4-1 victory at Burscough’s Victoria ground has to go down as one of their best performances of the season. Goals by Swarbrick 2, Green and Kilfin gave the scoreline an emphatic ring although it has to be added the home side hit the woodwork 3 times.
City got off to the best possible start scoring with their first attack, from Simpson’s cross the ball landed at the feet of Swarbrick who made no mistake from 10 yards. (0-1)
City then dominated proceeding, should have added more but twice spurned great chances when Kilfin couldn’t properly get the ball under control and then the same player failed to make contact with a great cross from Simpson.
The home side battled back and the old fashioned centre forward Cummins hammered a shot against the post and a free kick for the left hit the bar, you began to suspect it was to be City’s day.
Just after the half hour Burscough on the play deservedly leveled when Cummins found himself in space and found the net with ease.
Burscough piled on the pressure but on the stroke of half time City re took the lead, Swarbrick broke loose and should really have scored however he lost the ball, but the ball arrived 25 yards out at the feet of Green who looked curled the ball majestically into the Burscough net. (1-2)
Apart from an early Burscough header which went narrowly wide, the early stages of the second half were confined mainly to midfield.
Halfway through the half City added a third from a corner as Kilfin scambled the ball home from close range. (1-3)
Burscough rallied and again hit the woodwork for 25 yards as they went for broke.
City sealed the win five minutes from when Green broke away down the left squared the ball to Swarbrick who blitzed the ball into the net. (1-4)
City had chances for more goals but you can’t be greedy, top performance for the Blues.
