Cup Competitions 2021-22



Checkatrade Trophy

In Checkatrade Trophy play, we drew a spot in Northern Section (Group F) to start group stage play, with Rotherham, Liverpool's U23 team and Crewe Alexandria also in our pod. We'd comfortably win all three games in group play to move on to the second round, where we'd get beat at home by fellow League One side Bradford City to knock us out of the competition.

Northern Section - Group F
Crewe 1 - 2 Morecambe
Morecambe 3 - 2 Liverpool U23
Morecambe 1 - 0 Rotherham

2nd Round: Morecambe 0 - 1 Bradford City



Carabao Cup

We once again enter League Cup play in the 1st round and needed penalties to get past Wimbledon at home after a scoreless draw in regulation. We'd be thrown into the fire in round two, as we were drawn away against Wolves, a Premier League side. We got smoked by Wolves last year in FA Cup play but battled hard this year, ultimately losing on penalties.

1st Round: Morecambe 0 - 0 Wimbledon (Morecambe win 6-5 on penalties)
2nd Round: Wolves 1 - 1 Morecambe (Wolves win 5-4 on penalties)



The Emirates FA Cup

As documented earlier, we had a decent draw in the 1st round of FA Cup play, with an away matchup against mid-table League Two club Newport. We were mired in a huge slump at this point and the resulting 5-1 loss was unquestionably the lowest point of the season for our club but also served as the wake up call we likely needed.

1st Round: Newport County 5 - 1 Morecambe
