Given that there was a full schedule of fixtures on New Years Eve many cllubs have got wise and changed the dates of their games to get fans the chance to d what they normally do on New Yers Eve and that is to get completely hammered, I won't though as my body is a temple worshipped by none these days.
Anyway back on track Lancaster took on Burscough at a chilly Giant Axe last night (Thursday), it hadn't beena great week for the home side losing a Kendal on Monday in a game which was delayed by 20 minutes due to a minority of alleged City fans battling with stewards and anybody else who happened to get in teh way, so there were quite a few Old Bill at the game last night plus a couple of grippers acting as security. Sadly the events will cost the club money with beefed up security.
On the pitch though City moved back to the top of the league with a fairly straight forward win against Burscough who at kick off were bottom of the league.
The visitors arrived late, their kit didn't arrive at all and by 25 minutes they were 3 down and the points had long since been lost.
City scored in the first minute from a corner when Connerton powered home a header. Eight minutes later it was two, Connerton sliding the ball home from 12 yards it was threatening to become a rout. The visitors soon made a tactical substitution they took of a James Corden lookalike midfielder who looked to have eaten well this Christmas. The change didn't work and thanks to some absolutely pap defending it was three down game over, Mayers being the scorer.
Amidst the chaos in the Burscough box the visitors had one chance which narrowly wide. They did possess one weapon they were able to take inswinging corners and just before half time substitute Smith curled one straight in, possibly game on again.
City had chances to increase the lead especially Connerton who hit the bar from about 12 yards but stout defending and good goalkeeping kept them out. The second half was more competitive as Burscough thanks to a couple of change looked a better side and made City work for the points but sadly for the visitors they could not reduce the arrears and they will end the year bottom whilst City will end it top.
