History of the Morecambe v Stevenage Borough fixture

Morecambe prepare to entertain Stevenage Borough at Christie Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 5 of the 10 previous games, with the Shrimps winning just 3.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Christie Park was less than a year ago, in November 2003, the Shrimps carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a Conference match.
