Kendal Town continued their late charge for the play-offs with a last-gasp 1-0 win at home to Prestwich Heys.
It was a 90th minute screamer from Joe Dickson who rifled home from 25 yards to make it five League wins in a row.
Dickson had only joined the action ten minutes ahead of his winning goal after starting on the bench.
Manager Jimmy Marshall had gone into the game with two changes to the side which had won at Irlam on Saturday. Rob Wilson and Matt Flynn came in for the suspended Matt Dudley and Pat Allington.
Wilson had been closest to giving Kendal the lead after seven minutes when Heys keeper Russ Saunders went full length to turn aside his effort.
It had been a fairly even first-half with Chris Cheetham making an even better save in the 44th minute at point blank range to deny Dylan Fitzgerald.
Kendal should have grabbed the lead soon after the restart but Leyton Holden lifted a short range header over the bar from six yards.
Cheetham had to produce two good stops to keep Kendal level but in the final stages it was the home side who looked the most likeliest to grab a winner.
Saunders produced one outstanding save to keep out an effort from Steve Yawson and Craig was just wide with a drive from the edge of the area.
Not to be denied Kendal kept up the late pressure and were rewarded with Dickson’s clean strike into the top corner which gave Saunders no chance.
