>> Morecambe secured a third successive 1-1 draw at Lincoln City with Craig Stanley scoring for the Shrimps.

Restored to the starting line-up, Stanley whipped over a free-kick that found the net to level the scores right on half-time.

The Imps had gone in front earlier in the half when Lee Frecklington pounced to beat Barry Roche.

>> Lancaster City had a second good win in a row as they swept past Trafford 3-0 at Giant Axe.

City scored all three goals after the break wth Mark Jackson (57), Lee Dodgson with a penalty (67) and Dave Foster (70) all on target.

Trafford finished the match with 10 men after Lee Southwood was sent off in the 82nd minute after clashing with City substitute Dave Swarbrick.

>> The Vale of Lune maintained their 100 per cent start to the season in North Lancashire/Cumbria.

The Vale beat Tyldesley 25-10 to make it three wins out of three and cement their spot on top of the table.

In doing so, they inflicted the first defeat of the season on Tyldesley who, like the Vale, were relegated from North Two West last season.

>> The Heysham Atoms had to wait for half an hour to start their match with Leigh Miners Rangers due to the referee being delayed in traffic.

The game ended in defeat for the Atoms as they lost 32-22 in a North West Counties Division Three clash.

The highlight for the Atoms in a patchy performance was a hat-trick from full-back Guy Richardson.
