Win and a draw for Rovers
lackburn emerged with a win and a draw from their two pre-season friendlies at Morecambe's Globe Arena on Saturday.[LNB] After a 2-1 victory over Accrington in a noon kick-off, Steve Kean's men added a 1-1 draw with the hosts later in the afternoon.[LNB]Rovers made a bright start to their second game of the day and Brett Emerton sent an early effort into the sidenetting.[LNB]But it was Morecambe who went in front as Phil Jevons burst through the Blackburn backline to fire the home side in front.[LNB]As expected, Rovers pressed strongly for an equaliser and after having a penalty claim waved away they secured a draw through Mauro Formica's goal.[LNB]Earlier, Nikola Kalinic netted the winner as Blackburn began their pre-season with a 2-1 victory over Accrington.[LNB]Kalinic took advantage of a mix-up in the Stanley defence to secure the win in the 66th minute for Rovers, for whom fellow forward Junior Hoilett was forced off injured in the first half on Saturday.[LNB]He also played a part in Rovers' first goal as he linked up well with Keith Andrews, who made no mistake with his 15th-minute effort.[LNB]Stanley, beaten in last season's League Two play-offs by Stevenage, had levelled nine minutes into the second half when trialist Kurtis Guthrie headed home a cross from Ian Craney.
