Lancaster City’s exit from the FA Cup at the hands of Curzon Ashton was tame, the visitors dominated apart from a win or bust effort from the home side as the visitors tired in the lat 15 minutes.
Both sides were unbeaten in all matches prior to kick off and understanderbly the play was cagey, chances were few and far between as defences dominated, although that said Curzon had two efforts which should possibly have resulted in goals, whilst City thanks to a stunning solo run should have scored his shot being scooped wide, should have hit the target.
The game seemed destined to be 0-0 at halftime but on the stroke of the interval with City’s defence split a cross was heading towards an unmarked Curzon forward, Marshall in his effort to clear the ball only managed to put it past his own keeper into the net. (0-1)
Curzon went close with a shot from distance but were not to be denied for long when a header across goal found Rowney who headed over the keeper into the net.(0-2)
City keeper Hale saved well to stop the visitors adding another as City struggled to get out of their own half. The introduction of three City substitutes perked the home side into a sustained period of attack towards the end of the game, Green in the Curzon goal produced one stunning save and managed to block the rebound which was also goal bound, Jackson shot over when well placed, deep into injury time Jackson scored for the home side. (1-2)
There was still time for a Curzon player to get a red card for a stamp on a home defender and with virtually the last kick of the game Akrigg was inches away from levelling the score.
In truth Curzon deserved the win and good luck to them in the next round away at Stourbridge.
