Bacup found some hidden reserves of energy to battle for another point as they played their fourth game in four days at the Brian Boys West View Stadium.

Just 17 hours after they had left the pitch at AFC Liverpool, five of the same starting line-up were on the pitch again in the shape of Boic Nhlizyo, Daniel Coleman, David Gray, Artjoms Butorins and Daniel Cocks.

They were joined this time by the returning John Ogden, Shane Birtles, Luke Morgan, Lee Oldham, Martin Cosgrave and Matty Bryan.

Coleman, with a long range effort, and a header from Oldham went closest for Bacup in the first half while Ogden saved well to deny Ben Connolly’s effort.

After the break Cocks had a shot blocked while Ashley Smallwood rattled the Bacup bar.
