The last time a Spennymoor team played at Lancaster, they were down in 15 seconds and eventually lost 6-0, soon after the club disbanded due to dubious counting in trhe board room and out of the ashes came Spennymoor Town. Having been promoted from the Northern League last season, they are blessed with a bit of financial clout as it showed on the pitch last night.
A tortuous journey to the game through Lancaster's fantastic one way system which is at present being dug up, meant delayts all round, the Spenny supporters coach only just arriving for the kick off.
What they saw was a highly competitive first period with both sides playing slick passing football. Spenny were the first to go close a free kick being tipped on to the bar by City custodian Hale.
Wearing and Taylor went close for City, Taylor should have done better before the deadlock was broken just before half time when a great team move from Spenny saw passes inter changed before Henderson ran on to a well placed pass and placed the ball past Hall.
City almost drew level in the next attack when from a corner Akrigg's cute back header found the Spenny defence wanting but without a City player in the vicinity of the back post. On the stroke of half time Kilifin almost conjured a goal from an acute angle but the ball hit the post and ran to safety.
Within 10 minutes of the restart it was game over, Spenny got a penalty when Marshall on the floor slid into the ball and the female referee gave a penalty, Tait only just scored. Two minutes later Stephenson met a cross at the back post and it was 3-0.
City were being run ragged and only some superb saves from Hale kept the score at three, but only for 10 minutes when another incisive move saw Cogden make it four from close range. Substitues a plenty as the game slowed down, there was just enough time for Woods to slide home a consolation a couple of minutes from the end.
