LANKY’S WALKING TALL

Lankester 32, Knibbs 87

CAMBRIDGE midfielder Jack Lankester marked his first league start of the campaign with his first goal – and hopes that is enough to cement his place.

Lankester cancelled out Jensen Weir’s opener with Harvey Knibbs striking late on to seal the win. And the 22-year-old said: “It was nice to get the goal after being patient and having to wait for my chance.

“I have just got to keep going, training hard, and it comes to those who wait.”

U’s boss Mark Bonner (left) said: “Jack had an excellent game, scored a really good goal and played with some real good intent between the lines.

“His delivery on set-plays and crosses was everything we wanted from him.”
