BACUP were guilty of their own downfall after letting a two-goal lead slip when Alsager nicked a last-gasp equaliser.

Alsager had led through Liam Rigby’s 15th minute strike but Bacup stormed back with Daniel Cocks levelling on 20 minutes with a well taken goal before before Kingsley Williams fired them in to a 51st minute lead, extended with and a Adrian Bellamy penalty five minutes later.

Alsager pulled one back through Nathan Southern on 62 minutes before Ryan Mitchell levelled in stoppage time.
