A perfect spring day for playing football, no breeze, warmish sunshine, flat but hard pitch, should have produced a good attractive game of football between Lancaster City and New Mills, however both teams were determined to use the aerial route and therefore the game was a bit basic to say the least.
City took and early lead when Swarbrick picked up a loose ball and scuffed a right footed shot into the net. (1-0)
This led to the Millers bombarding the home goal with a stream of centre which were well dealt with by the City defence and keeper McDonald who pulled off a couple of great saves to keep the home side in front.
On the rare occasions City managed to get forward, they did actually look dangerous with the Millers defence only just keeping out another Swarbrick effort.
On 24 minutes the visitors duly equalised, a corner hit the bar and Chadwick was on hand to boot the ball into the net. (1-1)
City were then pinned back by more aerial bombardment and looked to have managed to get to half time but another corner proved their undoing again Chadwick scored. (1-2)
City dominated the 2nd half but without the killer punch which would have got them a point. Again the ball was propelled skywards, as the tempreture dipped tempers began to rise, the game began to get niggly and as a result play became more fragmented.
The Millers had a couple of chances on the break which they failed to convert. City strove manfully to level but could not find a way through the massed ranks of the Millers defence.
