Morecambe Secures Dramatic National League Win After Panjab Warriors Takeover

Morecambe Football Club staged a dramatic comeback victory in their first match since a tumultuous period marked by financial crisis and suspension from the National League. The club, which had been on the brink of losing its league status and possibly disappearing, was rescued by a takeover from Panjab Warriors, officially approved just days before the match. New manager Ashvir Singh Johal, the first Sikh to manage a British professional club, took charge only days prior and introduced new signings, including substitute Daniel Ogwuru, who scored the winning goal in the eighth minute of stoppage time. The 2-1 victory over Altrincham was celebrated by over 3,700 fans, who had endured months of uncertainty and were more focused on the club’s survival than the match outcome. The emotional win symbolized a new beginning for Morecambe, uniting the community and fans who feared the club's extinction. The atmosphere was electric as the club began a new chapter under fresh ownership and management, providing hope after a summer of turmoil.
