McIlroy delighted with Morecambe Win

Morecambe manager Sammy McIlroy was said to be wearing a huge grin at the post match press conference at Edgar Street this afternoon.

"To give a performance like this here is great. We did not play well at Wycombe but we did so well today," said McIlroy.

"I am delighted for the lads and for Matty Blinkhorn, who has waited a long time for his goal.

"He has played well; his workrate has been fantastic and he deserves the goal.

"What we need now is to be consistent like Hereford had been until today."

At his press conference Graham Turner praised Morecambe.

"I think you have to give Morecambe a great deal of credit. I thought they came and played very well against us," said Turner as reported by the Official Website.

"We've had one of those days where we've not looked very sharp, we've been out-muscled. They've played better than we have. Particularily annoying is the set-pieces going in against us.

"It's been a very very good run. It was going to come to an end sometime. Now we've got to get it right for Macclesfield.

"What we haven't got to do is lose two games on the trot."
