Morecambe 2 Hereford 2: Midfielder makes sure of a point for the Shrimps

Morecambe and Hereford shared four goals at the Halo Aerospace Stadium on Tuesday evening.

Two goals from Matty Daly helped Morecambe secure a 2-2 draw against National League North high-fliers Hereford at the Halo Aerospace Stadium, writes DEREK QUINN.

Daly scored either side of goals from Lewis Hudson and Kameron Muir to maintain the Shrimps’ unbeaten home run on Tuesday.

Adam Lakeland made three changes to the side that lost at Hednesford with Ben Williams, Teddy Collis and Joe Garner coming in for Isaac Buckley-Ricketts, Elliot Newby and Taelor O’Kane.

Hereford started the game on the front foot with Kam Kandola seeing an early shot from the edge of the box turned around the post by Myles Boney.

Harrison Iwunze’s close-range effort forced a goalline clearance before the Shrimps struck first on 14 minutes.

Daly found the net with a superb finish from the edge of the box, curling Ruben Curley’s lay-off into the top left-hand corner of Theo Richardson’s goal.

The rest of the half was a well-contested game that provided few chances before the game changed in the second period.

Hereford levelled the scores on 51 minutes when a goalmouth scramble ended with Hudson heading home from close range as Boney failed to claim the ball.

He was beaten again three minutes later when Muir was left all alone in the box and struck the ball under the Morecambe keeper.

The visitors had chances to go further ahead as Harry Tustin hit the woodwork when he went for goal with two players free in the box.

He was made to pay as the Shrimps levelled on 68 minutes when Marcus Neill played in Daly and he produced a cool finish to beat Richardson.

Both teams looked to win the game with Luke Spokes seeing two shots deflected wide.

Morecambe almost pinched the win at the death as Paul Lewis saw a close-range header well saved by Richardson.
