News Round-up (9/12)
Chester City 4 Lincoln City 1

9th December 2006

Lincoln City FC striker Danny Bacon seems certain to have played his last match for the club.

Bacon, who has spent the past two months on loan at Conference North club Worksop Town, has been told by The Imps that he is free to leave Lincoln City. As yet there have been no formal offers but Bacon's former club Hucknall Town are monitoring the situation.

Hucknall manager Kevin Wilson confirmed: "I know how Danny played when he was here before. There is an interest and we are just monitoring what's happening. He's at Worksop at the moment so we've just got to wait and see."

Meanwhile, Lincoln City's promotion hopes were dented via a 4-1 drubbing at Chester City on Saturday afternoon. Chester took the lead in the 19th minute when Roberto Martinez converted a pass from Jonathon Walters.

Walters then made it 2-0 to Chester when he reacted quickest to a 52nd minute rebound off the crossbar. Lincoln gave themselves hope in the 64th minute when a long throw-in eventually reached Nat Brown, who sent a right-foot shot into the net for 2-1.

Former Imps' target Gregg Blundell restored Chester's two goal advantage when he headed ex-Imp Kevin Sandwith's free-kick past Alan Marriott for 3-1. It became 4-1 in the 81st minute when Blundell turned provider for Laurence Wilson to head home.
