Match Preview

County without Fon Williams Stockport goalkeeper Owain Fon Williams has joined League One outfit Rochdale ahead of the home clash with Lincoln. The 23-year-old has signed a deal at Spotland until the end of the season and will go straight into Dale`s squad for their trip to Yeovil. The Welshman recently returned to Edgeley Park from a three-month loan spell at Bury, having lost his place at County to Matt Glennon. County have also seen striker Wes Fletcher return to Burnley following the end of his three-month loan spell at the club. Young midfielder Craig Roberts is joining Lancaster on loan and midfielder Stephen Husband, on loan from Blackpool, is suspended after he was sent off during last weekend's 3-0 defeat at Hereford. Lincoln manager Steve Tilson has two new signings at his disposal. Tilson has bolstered his depleted squad with the signings of goalkeeper Trevor Carson from Sunderland and defender Stephen Hunt from Notts County. Carson has signed for the Imps on a month-long emergency loan and is likely to make his debut after first choice shot-stopper Joe Anyon picked up an injury in training while Hunt will go into the squad after he also joined on a month's loan. Tilson has injury doubts with defender Gavin Hoyte struggling with a hamstring injury and midfielder Clark Keltie nursing a thigh problem. Adam Watts has returned to training following a knee injury but it is not known whether the game against County will come too soon for the defender.

Match Report

Grimes treble stuns Hatters Ashley Grimes scored a hat-trick as bottom of the table Lincoln beat fellow strugglers Stockport 4-3 in a thriller at Edgeley Park. Grimes opened the scoring after just five minutes with a stunning lob, which sailed over Matt Glennon and into the bottom right-hand corner of the net. The Hatters levelled when Adam Griffin stole in after Trevor Carson had parried a Greg Tansey free-kick after 25 minutes. But right on the stroke of half-time the Imps restored their lead when defender Adam Watts went up for a free-kick and headed home from close range. The match looked to be over after Grimes scored his second from close range on the hour-mark, but County came back again through David Poole, who steered home a Paul Turnbull cross. Grimes completed his hat-trick five minutes later, but the home side stubbornly refused to lie down and an own goal from Watts made it 3-4 on 73 minutes. Despite some nerve-jangling moments in the final 15 minutes, the Imps held on for three precious points.
