Home side come out on top of battle
A late goal from winger Mark Duffy gave Morecambe a 2-1 win against struggling Barnet.
The home side got off to a flying start and took the lead after just three minutes. Craig Stanley found Duffy with a neat ball down the right and he produced a superb cross that was met by Stewart Drummond's diving header.
Barnet almost hit back immediately with Matt Lockwood running in on goal but shooting straight at Barry Roche, who saved smartly with his legs.
The Bees did pull one back after 33 minutes, Lockwood sending Roche the wrong way from the penalty spot after Danny Adams had been penalised for a shirt pull.
Phil Jevons hit the bar for Morecambe after the break, before playing Duffy through to make it 2-1 with 12 minutes remaining.
The Shrimps finished strongly and hit the woodwork on two further occasions late on.
