Lancaster City and Warrington Town shared the goals and points in a fairly lifeless encounter at the Giant Axe in Lancaster this afternoon.
Compared to last Saturday’s excellent performance at Burscough, City were extremely slowly getting started, they had had a narrowly escape when the Wires took the lead in the 13th minute McLachlan, whose tame shot dribbled past a host of play before crossing the line. (0-1)
Wires dominated the early stages although both sides spent the vast majority of the time sending the ball skywards, it took City about 30 minutes to finally get into gear and they almost fluked an equaliser when Hudson’s cross landed on the top of the crossbar before bouncing behind for a goal kick.
They came closer minutes later when Green curling lob from 15 yards was tipped superbly round the post by Wires keeper Robertson.
City were better in the second half and were finding space down either wing creating problems for the Wires defenc. They levelled the scores on 57 minutes when the ball fell invitingly at Swarbrick’s feet 25 yards out. His first time volley flew into the net, Robertson having no chance. (1-1)
The goal woke Warrington from their slumbers coming more into the game, however scoring chances were at a premium, as the temperature started to dip, so did the game.
Warrington should have snatched the points in the final minutes but when well placed a Wires player missed the target from 15 yards.
