Mixed Week for Imps

15th March 2008

It has been a mixed week for Lincoln City as they have won one but also lost one during the past week.

Lincoln City travelled to Notts County last Tuesday evening for a local derby. The match ended as a 1-0 victory for Lincoln thanks to a Jamie Forrester goal in the 15th minute.

It was an evenly contested affair although Notts County did enjoy several periods of possession. However, the match would probably have ended as a 0-0 had it not been for a spectacular shot by Forrester. A Lincoln cross was headed straight to Forrester by former Imp Paul Mayo; Forrester connected with a fine volley to beat Russell Hoult in the County goal. Mayo was one of five former Lincoln City players fielded by Notts County during this match.

Imps' caretaker-manager Iffy Onuora has revealed that he could boost his injury-hit squad by loaning youngster from Leeds United, after several impressed during a recent reserve match against Lincoln City.

In the meantime, Onuora is keeping his faith in the Lincoln City FC youth set-up as Shane Clarke, Danny Hone and Gary King were given their chance to impress during Lincoln's match at home to Stockport County on Saturday afternoon. However, the match was not the best, with numerous stoppages that hampered the flow. It was to be an unhappy time for Lincoln as they lost 1-0 through a 66th minute goal by David Poole.

Elsewhere, former Imps' striker Dave Cameron was this week named as the new manager of Bradford Park Avenue.
