Wayne Curtis punished dreadful marking to put Morecambe ahead on 20 seconds, though Jamie Ward should have levelled only to see his penalty well saved.

Lester's drive made up for Ward's error and the striker made it 2-1 when he headed home his 11th of the season.

It was not enough, though, as Grand crashed home to snatch an away point.
