Prescot Cables 2,Ramsbottom United 1

A PRESCOT goal two minutes from time dumped the Rams out in a blood and thunder cracker of a cup tie.

David Yorke-Robinson gave United the lead on 35 minutes with a tremendous strike. Somehow they failed to add to this as Prescot made two last ditch goalline clearances, Dave Roach hit the bar and the keeper saved two with his feet, then appeared to take Steve Orrell out but the referee waved play on.

Cables levelled two minutes after the break through Steve O'Neill and, as the Rams pushed forward , got the winner on 88 minutes through Gary Jensen. The United star performer vote went to midfielder Steve Brennan.
