Ex-Imps Lose

10th February 2006

Two former Lincoln City FC players faced their old club on Wednesday afternoon, but were left disappointed by a 2-1 defeat.

Lincoln City's reserves travelled to Scarborough on Wednesday for a reserve league match. Included in the Scarborough reserve side were ex-Imps Neil Redfearn and Simon Weaver.

Although Redfearn is now manager of Scarborough, he was not in charge for this match, as Scarborough reserve team boss Mitch Cook dished out the orders as usual.

After the game, Cook said: "There were a number of solid performances, but it was a case of Lincoln taking their chances.

"It could have gone either way and we were unlucky not to get anything out of it."


Sean McClare had given Scarborough an early lead but Imps' striker Gary Birch levelled just before half-time via a penalty. Birch, who remains Lincoln's leading goal scorer despite losing his first team place, pressed for a return to the first team when he scored the winning goal from 25-yards out.

Scarborough res: Dunbavin, Adam Lyth, Cook, Redfearn (Batchelor 60), Foot (Dalton 60), Weaver, Bertos, McClare, Blott, Tom Baker, Pounder.

Lincoln City res: Duffy, Stirling, Beevers, Toyne, Bloomer, Kemp, Frecklington, Clarke, Birch, Mettam, Ryan. Subs: Watt, Cotton, Wallace, O'Boyle, Loach.
