SOCCER: Hot-shot Rickie Lambert is pushing for a first team place at Exeter City on Saturday.

The Liverpudlian youngster has caught the eye of many at Moss Rose and his latest outing for the reserves helped secure a win.

Gil Prescott must now be considering whether Lambert deserves a place in the team for their trek to the south coast.

Lambert and Matt Woolley were on target for the reserves as they overcame Notts County 2-1.

This win over the third-placed County gives the Silkmen and leaders Hull City some breathing space at the top of the pile.

Chris Byrne also featured in the reserves win.
