The stalemate syndrome continues with Lancaster’s 1 all draw with localish neighbours Burscough. On a day more suited to watching the ball being dispersed to the boundary, City attempted to win their 2nd home match of the season after defeating Cammell Laird in their opening game.
City should have been ahead after 2 minutes but Jackson pass to the goalkeeper lacked any power not to worry within a minute Kilfin had given the home side the lead prodding home his rebounded shot from 6 yards. (1-0) The loud Burscough keeper protested that it was hand ball the referee took no interest in his claim.
City looked as if they would score at will but they missed several good chances but poor shooting and good keeping by Fog Horn kept them at bay.
On rare occasions Burscough ventured forward, a lone supporter with the Lancaster fans shouted YES, as the ball floated harmlessly past the far post.
On half time City were given a warning when Burscough had three chances to level in quick succession all were missed.
City never really got started in the second half and were second best, it was no surprise on 70 minutes when Roberts-Nurse fired home the leveller.(1-1)
Briefly City rallied and Marshall headed narrowly wide and Steel had a header cleared from the line. Back came Busrcough and only last ditch defending and a great save from McDonald kept them level.
Still unbeaten after 4 games but can play better.
