With new covid rules in place the capacity was halved from their last game at the weekend with a maximum of 200 allowed in. The programme was online only, a one way system was in place inside the ground and temperatures where checked on entry. No refreshments were available. CoL offered little in attack, Morpeth scored a fine first goal on 34 when a high bounce took out the last defender and winger Foalle volleyed a lob over the advancing keeper at an angle from just inside the box HT 0-1. Five minutes after the break the home side were reduced to ten men when no2 Stephens was harshly sent off, he got plenty of the ball but also caught the man. Foalle added a second on 76 with a low drive from the right before Henderson scored a third on 84 from a low shot from the left. A spectacular shot from distance hit the top bin but the whistle had already gone for an infringement stopping a fourth. CoL had one decent chance with a long ball putting the striker through on goal but under pressure he lifted it over the bar. Ticket cost £8.80 including 80p booking charge
