Lancaster City 1 Matlock Town 0 Att 216

An early penalty settled this encounter converted by Wilson for the home side which gave them a big three points in their efforts to avoid relegation, hovering dangerously close to the drop zone this win will come as a welcome relief to them.
First visit to the Axe this season was told have not missd muchit's been crap, well for the first 45 minutes it wasn't. A fast start by the home side saw them have a penalty appeal turned down before 30 seconds later get one awarded, Wilson bagged the goal(Video).
City dominated plying some nice flowing football which belied their league position, could not quite get the second, then it was the turn of the visitors to turn the screw, got plenty of possession forcing the home side back, they got into some good positions couldn't finish denied by City keeper Sims and inability to hit the target. City deservedly led at the break.
The second half was dire to say the least Matlock dominated contrived to miss several good chances before the game descended in to a long ball hoof fest, conversation turned to what the sponsor's advertisers actually produced and food recipes, yep that exceiting.
After banging at the City backline for the best part of 35 minutes City realised Matlock were never going to score and started to venture foward actually had a shot Kilfin shot wide, they got into another of good scoring positions but final ball let them down but Job done as they say points in the bag
