On cool September night Lancaster City duly progressed into the next round of the FA Cup with a 1-0 win over Northern League opponents Marske United.
The only goal came midway through the first half when Pearce's shot hit the post and rebounded into the net of the back of Dean in the United goal. Marske started the brighter passing the ball well on the lush Lancaster pitch although rarely troubling Donlon in the City goal. It took about 10 minutes for City to get into the game when they did they really should have gone ahead a fine passing move cut through the Marske rear guard however Pearce's shot failed to hit the target when extremely well placed.
The goal further pepped up City and young winger Whittington on loan from AFC Fylde began to terrorise the United defence but there was nobody in the area to finish off his impressive wing play. Hunter also hit the post for City again after some super passing football. Towards half time a few meaty challenges went in which caused an exchange of opinions between the players at half time in the tunnel.
Both sides had great chances to score at the start of the second half before the game started to become a midfield stalemate.
United made three substitutions bringing on veteran Brunskill to try and get the leveller. They were extremely unlucky 10 minutes from time when a forward got a clear run on goal and looked to be brought down in the area, red card and penalty, well, no, the referee waved played and almost immediately award a soft free kick at the other end of the pitch which Carlton blasted out of the ground.
In the closing minutes Marske full back Myers? was sent off for a second yellow card looked harsh.
City eased to victory and will now meet Padiham in the next round in East Lancashire.
Finally every credit to the Marske noisy support a long way to travel for a night match.
