All of Morecambe's goals came as a result of many mistakes the Rovers defence made and they were punished for that.
After a slow start from both teams Rovers began to push forward a bit as the first half came to a finish. Gary McDonald opened the scoring for the visitors skipping past two defenders and slotting the ball into the back of the net, before defender Nick Fenton made it 2-0 five minutes later, followed by Kevin Ellison who finished of the scoring for the shrimps. Rovers didn't have a very good start to the game and didn't test the goalkeeper well. One chance came from Lee Brown who's free kick was caught easily by keeper Barry Roche, when Matt Harrold was caught just outside the box. Wayne Brown also had a shot in the second half but went wide of the post. The only other good chance for Rovers came from Eliot Richards who's shots were easily save by the Morecambe goalkeeper.
