Lancaster City will host local rivals Bamber Bridge on Boxing Day in both teams’ first game in 23 days.
All of their games since December 3 had been postponed due to bad weather conditions or fixture clashes with the opposition.
Playing Bamber Bridge during the festive period could be considered something of a Christmas tradition of late for Lancaster City. In the 2019-20 season and 2021-22 season, the two sides faced each other on the 26th and 27th of December respectively, but both games ended in a victory for ‘Brig’.
Both sides come into this festive, and potentially feisty, fixture in relatively good form. Bamber Bridge have won their last three in all competitions, including a 1-0 win over Lancaster in November in the LFA Challenge Trophy.
Lancaster City, meanwhile, had won four league games on the spin until losing 3-1 to Marine in their final outing before the weather disrupted the schedule. It was a game that no one had predicted to be a tense affair, but it was however marred by a series of yellow cards, 13 to be precise.
The Dollies’ club photographer Phil Dawson has donated a 30’’ x 16’’ canvas print of the first-team squad to the club, and it will be raffled on Boxing Day at the Giant Axe. Tickets are priced at £1 each.
Lancaster City v Bamber Bridge kicks off at 3pm on Boxing Day at the Giant Axe.
