The first half saw Morecambe dominate possession for long periods and create several half chances,

Kevin Ellison was almost played in in the first minute by Aaron Wildig’s cross but he couldn’t get the power he needed on his header to test Jack Bonham.

Ellison repaid the favour when he set up Wildig on 15 minutes with a ball behind the back four but Bonham did well to stay on his feet and save the midfielder’s final shot from the angle.

The best Morecambe chance fell to Adam McGurk on 39 minutes when he was played in on the right bur could only find the side netting with his final shot.
