MORECAMBE host perennial crisis club Chester City at Christie Park this weekend as they look to keep up the pressure at the top end of the Nationwide Conference.

The cash strapped, relegation threatened club appointed former Tranmere centre half Steve Mungall as their new manager earlier this week as they look to rebuild from the disastrous reign of American businessman Terry Smith.

An early kick off for the game against Teovil, one of their longest journeys of the season, proved to be worthwhile for the Shrimps as they came away with a useful point.

Yeovil haven't quite matched last season's heights, but holding them to a draw and coming within a whisker of a hard fought win -- is still an achievement.

The first half saw Morecambe on top and creating several chances, with Phil Eastwood, Stewart Drummond and Garry Thompson all going close in the early exchanges.

Early in the second half, Talbot finally made the breakthrough, sneaking in front of the Yeovil defence to place a header past experienced keeper John Sheffield to give his side the lead.

As so often happens, the away side were woken up by going behind and began to come back into the game.

However, it took a moment of magic from Yeovil's Nick Crittenden with the seconds ticking away to level the facts. His powerful shot left Craig Mawson with very little chance and allowed the home side to escape with a share of the points.

Morecambe now hold sixth place in the conference, though Dagenham and Redbridge are now beginning to establish a commanding lead, having received a boost with the signing of prolific striker Ken Charlery from another of the leading sides, Boston United.

Morecambe were due to visit Boston, who have also lost experienced midfielder Mike Marsh in recent weeks, on Wednesday night.

Meanwhile, boss Jim Harvey is expected to hear shortly if he is to face any action after being 'sent off' in Malta on Saturday while serving as Northern Ireland's assistant boss.

RESULT: Yeovil Town...1 Morecambe... 1
