Jake Cain hailed an 'impressive afternoon' for Morecambe after they swept Brackley Town aside 3-0 at the Halo Aerospace Stadium. The convincing home win on Saturday moves the Shrimps up to 10th in the National League North, with 13 points from their opening nine matches.
The midfielder, speaking to the club's official media, said the performance was another positive step on home soil. "It was an impressive afternoon for the Shrimps," Cain said. He pointed to the collective effort as the foundation for the victory, which featured goals from Eli Newby, an own goal from Brackley's J. Tomlinson, and Will Smith.
Morecambe's recent form shows four wins from their last five outings, a run that includes victories over Buxton, Chester, and AFC Telford United. The only blemish in that sequence was a narrow 2-1 defeat away to Southport. The three goals against Brackley Town improved the team's goal difference to +5 for the season, having scored 13 and conceded eight.
Cain's involvement was a key part of a dominant display that keeps the side within touching distance of the playoff places. The club now looks ahead to its next fixture, a Boxing Day trip to face 16th-placed Chorley.
