ACCRINGTON Stanley staged a second half fight-back to beat Frickley for the first time in 10 attempts.

The visitors took the lead in the eighth minute when Justin Dickinson finished off a fine four-man move.

Darren Thornton fired over the crossbar on 25 minutes after good work by Mark Rawstron and Brian Welch.

Six minutes later a long range shot by Graeme Hughes was parried by keeper Ian Taylor who then blocked Rawstron's follow up effort.

Stanley equalised on 61 minutes, Rawstron passing to Thornton, whose far post cross was headed in by Welch.

The Reds kept up their pressure and scored again after 75 minutes. A cross by Tom McKenna went over Taylor, hit the bar and Thornton netted the rebound from close range.

In stoppage time Thornton was denied a second goal when he hit the bar from close range.
