“IT was far from a vintage performance but three points is all that matters.”

Those were the thoughts of Lostock Gralam co-manager Dean Jones as his side won their third game in a row.

All three of those games have finished 1-0, with the latest success being against Eagle Sports on Saturday.

Midfielder Tom Hassall scored the winner as he converted Connor Hooks’ pass for his 10th goal of the season.

The Grey Lambs went close to extending the margin on several occasions while at the other end, goalkeeper Jacob Kirwan was required to make some good saves to keep the visitors out.

They are due to travel to Crewe FC tomorrow night, kick off 7.15pm, before a trip to Winstanley Warriors on Saturday, kick off 2pm.
