The 225 who braved the chilly but sunny day in the shadow of Pendle hill saw Lancaster lose to a own goal in the 90th minute. Bit of a travesty because for the vast majority of the game City had dominated home side Clitheroe.
On a hard pitch plus a biting wind the first half offered little in the way of entertainment although Clitheroe hit a post and Winder was foiled in a one on one with the Clitheroe keeper, apart from that neither keeper had a lot to do.
City had the better of the play but the final ball often failed to find it’s target.
The second half was marginally better Clitheroe going c;lose twice before City started to pile on the pressure. In the space of 10 seconds City were denied by the post and two brave goal line clearances and you got the feeling that it was nott going to be the visitors day and so it proved a Clitheroe breakaway led to a shot from the left, it took a cruel deflection off Gregson to send McDonald the wrong way, ball into the net, three points to Clitheroe. Lucky they were, but that’s the way the cookie crumbles.
And that is the last bit of non league action I shall see this season.
