Morecambe secured their first win in five games with a Good Friday victory over local rivals Accrington Stanley.
Goals from Nelson Khumbeni and Charlie Brown put the Shrimps into a comfortable position before Accrington staged a late rally as Lewis Shipley gave them hope of a comeback with an 89th-minute header. Archie Mair made two superb injury-time saves as the home side peppered the Morecambe goal but the Shrimps, with Jacob Bedeau outstanding, held on for three points.
Edwards and Khumbeni both fired over from distance before Ged Garner tried his luck from 40 yards out, spotting Radek Vitek off his line but seeing his effort float just over. Accrington went close early in the second half when a goalmouth scramble ended with Mair blocking Jake Bickerstaff’s close-range effort. It was the Shrimps who found the opening goal on 54 minutes as a mistake from Connor O’Brien allowed Garner a run on goal.
