AFTER back-to-back draws the Rams grabbed three points against a team two places below them.

Glossop started the livelier, with Stuart Harkness and Dave Barhill both having shots well saved by Mark Andrews' legs before the Rams gradually got to grips with the game and were unlucky not to grab the lead on 24 minutes.

Matt Swailes retrieved a ball on the edge of the box, pulled it back across goal where Dave Gardner turned and shot. His effort struck Danny Broom on the arm and came back off the underside of the bar and was cleared to safety, the referee waving away penalty protests.

The two goalkeepers were by far the best players on the pitch and it was solely down to them that the sides went in level at half time.

The Rams finally opened the scoring on 48 minutes, Gareth Gardner broke down the right and his perfectly weighted cross found Matt Swailes, his shot took a deflection and wrong-footed Williams on its way into the net.

Glossop equalised on 60 minutes after Levendis whipped in a cross and Rams defender Ged Walsh in an effort to clear the ball, headed past his own keeper.

The Rams finally secured the win on 89 minutes, Bulwich beating Williams with a header from six yards.
