The Mighty Shrimpers rearranged their team for this rearranged fixture in front of 6,000 Shrimpers and a few hardy souls from Yorkshire. Two poor defeats and Kevin Maher was feeling the pressure…
First half and Fax start well but Blues work back into it, both sides have half-chances but halfo 0-0.
Second half and the now Light Blues (Fax turned up in a grim grey kit which the ref took 45mins to get confused by) actually scored two goals from corners! Gus Scott Morriss heads home from Goodliffe after a Morton corner, then ditto a few mins later as a flick on see Tom Hopper hopping for joy with a far post finish, 2-0 Blues! Fax have ago and Nick Hayes has to be smart with good saves until Thomas sees a deflected shot go past Hayes for 2-1. But Charley Kendall fires home late on to see the Blues Tyke the points.
Two home games coming up …
