Halifax 1-0 Morecambe

Halifax snatched a 1-0 home victory over Morecambe with a 90th-minute goal from Andy Farrell.

The Shaymen looked like they would have to cling on for a point after Phil Clarkson had been sent off in the 76th minute for his second bookable offence.

But they refused to sit back and were rewarded in the closing stages when Farrell's low right-foot shot finally broke the deadlock in a bad-tempered affair which saw nine players booked as well as Clarkson's dismissal.

Morecambe could not make the most of their numerical advantage and were thankful to goalkeeper Craig Mawson for keeping them in the game until Farrell's late winner.

Mawson produced a brilliant save six minutes into the second half to keep out Brian Quailey's well-struck 25-yard drive, while he also did well to deny Farrell and Lewis Killeen before the break.

Morecambe also went close on several occasions but Adriano Rigoglioso and Lee Elam both had shots saved by Halifax goalkeeper Lee Butler, while Neil Ubershar was also denied in stoppage time.


Halifax: Butler, Sandwith, Garnett, Monington, Asher, Midgley, Clarkson, Bushell, Killeen, Fitzpatrick, Farrell. Subs: Morgan, Quinn, Neil Grayston, Ryan, Quailey.

Morecambe: Mawson, Colkin, Swan, Bentley, Ubershar, Black, Stringfellow, Drummond, Rigoglioso, Curtis, Elam. Subs: McKearney, Murphy, Talbot, Morgan, Carlton.

Referee: C Harwood (Manchester)
