Sixth straight draw for Lancaster City in FA Cup qualifier 

Lancaster City will replay their FA Cup qualifying round after a goalless draw with Barnoldswick Town at Giant Axe.

Manager Chris Willcock had selection issues, no fewer than 10 players unavailable. 

Reinforcements were made in the form of Ted Lavelle from FC Halifax Town and Charlie Hall from Accrington Stanley, who both joined on one-month loans.

The best chance for the Dolly Blues came on 9 minutes. Harrison Beeden crossed which Jack Byrne flicked on for captain of the day Chris Dagnall whose shot was expertly saved by Callum Jakovlevs.

Barlick were proving tricky from set pieces, which kept the Dollies defence busy, whilst the defence were resisting the Lancaster attack to half chances, with Dylan Moonan and Aaron Bennett not seeing joy from long range efforts. 

Intent was there in the second half for Lancaster City. 

Aaron Fleming started the half positively down the left hand side, but a succession of crosses were dealt with by Jakovlevs.

The first real chance of the second half came to the visitors, reminiscent of Dagnall chance in the first. Luke Stone had the chance of a cupset, but James McLenaghan made an impressive save.

On 82 minutes Ted Lavelle, who was already on a yellow card after a handball on 15 minutes, had to make the challenge to stop a Barlick counter. He saw a second yellow and leaving the Dollies down to 10 for the final 8 minutes. 

Substitute Ryan Rogers, making his debut for the Dolly Blues had the final meaningful chance of the game.

The replay will take place on Tuesday 3rd September at the Silent Night Stadium, with a 19:45 kick-off.
