A LAST gasp extra-time Matty Darbyshire strike gave Great Harwood Town another bite of the cherry as they look to overcome neighbours Nelson in the Division Two Trophy.
The lively forward bagged a scrappy 119th minute equaliser to earn his side a replay at the end of a pulsating seesaw cup clash.
Town took the lead through Paul Mashiter before Nelson struck back within four minutes when Andy Haworth blasted home the equaliser.
Darbyshire opened his account on the hour mark with a spectacular long-range effort that nestled in the top corner.
Then, in the dying minutes after Steve Whittaker had rattled the Harwood post with a 25-yard free kick, Andy Haworth levelled the scores with a shot through a crowded penalty area after 86 minutes.
Steve Whittaker looked to have booked Nelson's place in the second round with a goal on 102 minutes.
Minutes later however, Kevin Richardson was sent off for bringing down Derbyshire and the 10 men of Nelson hung on until Derbyshire's late intervention.
NELSON...3 GREAT HARWOOD...3
