  SUMMARY
  A performance which improved as the game wore on saw Altrincham gain a deserved victory over Lancaster City. The result was marred by the loss of Mark Quayle, carried off on a stretcher after 47 minutes with an apparent hamstring injury. With 16 goals in the four games so far, Altrincham fans are seeing some entertaining football this season, but the absence of a clean sheet is still of some concern, even though it took a marvellous goal from Lancaster to breach the defence today. After this evening's results, Altrincham now lie sixth.

  TEAM NEWS
  Three changes were made to the team which drew at Whitby. Adam Farley who had been employed at both left- and right-back in the previous games was omitted, as were Stuart Quinn and Stu Scheuber. Quinn was presumably injured but Scheuber was relegated to the bench. Eddie Turkington, Leroy Chambers and Carl Furlong also remained sidelined, along with Shaun Goodwin who watched from the stand. Into the side came Barry Crowe, a welcome introduction at right-back, freeing Jason Gallagher to play in midfield. Mark Maddox played at centre-back in place of Turkington, who had limped off at Whitby on Saturday, whilst Dickie Landon started up-front with Mark Quayle. Curiously, two non-first team Altrincham players figured in the warm-up; a tall goalkeeper and Alty Reserves' centre-back, Glendinning.
