"YOU just had to applaud their equaliser," said Rams' manager Vince Overson after Tuesday's draw with Skelmersdale.

"It was a shame there wasn't a camera to capture it, because it would be goal-of-the-season in any league."

But despite having to settle for just a point, he was pretty happy with his team's performance.

"We caused them problems all game long," he said.

"We fought and battled in midfield and I was really pleased with the way the back four played, Jordan Rispen in particular. He's got pace, he's aggressive, he's good in the air, and for a big lad he's got some ability.

"They're a happy bunch playing for each other, and with that kind of spirit anything is possible."

Dominating his thoughts now is tomorrow's semi-final second leg trip to Newcastle Town, where they take a 4-3 lead from the first leg.

But it's not going to be easy getting to the final, and a possible date with valley rivals Bacup Borough.

"We're struggling to get a team," said Overson.

"Buggie and Boden are cup-tied; Stewart is suspended; both Gareth Gardiner and Ged Walsh look like being unavailable due to work commitments; and Dyson is struggling with an injury. So we'll just have to give everything we've got and see where it get's us."
