Shrimps boss Sammy McIlroy spoke to the official Morecambe website about his side's 2-1 pre-season friendly defeat at home to Carlisle tonight, McIlroy commenting :


"I thought we had the better of the game for long periods and there was a lot for me to be happy about. We played the ball around neatly again, especially in the first half, and Carlisle had very few chances.

"The only disappointment for me was the goals we gave away with Danny (Carlton's) header the result of some poor defending. Overall though I was happy to see David Artell make a strong debut and Michael Twiss and Carl Baker got a good run which will help their fitness.''
