GUISELEY were seeking their first point of the new season last night but suffered heartbreak as Wrexham scored in the fourth minute of stoppage time to grab a 3-2 victory.

The Welsh outfit’s Paul Rutherford netted a cracking strike that was worthy of winning any game but it was a bitter pill for the Lions to swallow.

Mark Bower’s men had taken an 11th minute lead through skipper Michael Rankine, but John Rooney levelled from the penalty spot after a handball in a packed area.

Wrexham went in front for the first time deep into the second half when substitute Gerry McDonagh netted a powerful header on his debut.

Jake Lawlor equalised for the Lions six minutes from time but Rutherford hit his stunner ten minutes later.

Silsden’s FA Cup involvement is over after a 3-1 defeat at home to Bridlington Town in an extra-preliminary round replay.
