Drought over as Shrimps dream on

- JOHN RICHARDSON

THEY might just have to find space for another statue alongside the iconic Eric Morecambe plinth if Shrimps boss Derek Adams makes club history.

The Scot has transformed the seaside club from relegation candidates to promotion candidates and, at this rate, League One for the first time in their EFL life beckons.

The omens for a change in their fortunes looked good from day one of the season with a 2-1 win at Cheltenham.

And Michael Duff’s team received confirmation that the opening day Morecambe success was not a fluke.

Despite upping the tempo in the second half and laying siege to Kyle Letheren’s goal they could not break down the stubborn barrier and found themselves knocked off the top of the division by Cambridge United.
