Shrimps away again
Published Date:

MORECAMBE'S reward for their thrilling penalty shootout win at Oldham in midweek is another away trip, this time to Chester.
The Shrimps reached the northern final of last season's Johnstone's Paint Trophy, losing out to Grimsby one step short of a return to Wembley.
They've used the competition to try out fringe players and, as on Tuesday at Boundary Park, as a way of testing new partnerships in midfield and up front.
Players like Stewart Drummond, Gary Hunter and Diarmuid O'Carroll took the opportunity to impress and all were pushing for a place in Sammy McIlroy's line up against Shrewsbury.
The tie at Chester will be played week commencing October 6.
Chester, like Morecambe, have started their league season in dismal fashion but trounced fellow strugglers, Barnet, 6-0 last Saturday.
