Second-half goals from Paul Lewis and Ben Tollitt gave Morecambe victory at Burscough on Tuesday evening.
Having opened their pre-season with last weekend’s win at Longridge Town, Morecambe saw their hosts come closest to breaking the deadlock in the opening 10 minutes. Harvey Sample broke into the Morecambe box and pulled the trigger, though the angle was against him and the ball sailed harmlessly wide. Morecambe won the game’s first corner and, following an initial clearance, the ball reached Lennon Dobson who shot wide from the edge of the box.
David Tutonda’s delivery was initially met by Brown, who forced a save from Reid before Lewis was in the right place at the right time to convert the rebound. Morecambe doubled the advantage on the hour through Tollitt, who advanced down the right before breaking into the box and firing beyond Reid. Burscough’s first sight of goal in the second period came on 64 minutes when Stephen Rigby’s header lacked the power needed to test Harry Burgoyne.
