History of the Aldershot Town v Morecambe fixture

Aldershot Tn. prepare to entertain Morecambe at Recreation Ground on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 2 of the 5 previous games, with the The Shots winning just 1.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Recreation Ground was less than a year ago, in February 2009, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-2 winners in a League Two match.
