Summary:l
A terrible loss for Wigan against a Morecambe that had
struggled since they joined the league the previous season. Wigan had gone
2-0 ahead with a drop goal from John Winstanley but just before half time
Jimmy Walkden retired injured and Wigan had to play on with 14 men and with
that Morecambe kicked on after the break to win 8-2.
