HOW the side failed to return over the border with all three points is a mystery, for the Rams dominated against a team that had scored five goals only a week before.
Chances galore were created with both Anthony Johnson and Andy Sensale going close in the opening minutes.
Three minutes before the break, Johnson threaded a superb ball through to Sensale in the box, and his first time strike bounced back off the advancing keeper onto the body of the on-rushing Pearson, who gladly took the plaudits as it ricocheted into the back of the net.

Silsden's skipper Martin Bland was shown a second yellow card in the second half for kicking the ball away.
Then one calamitous piece of poor marking undid all the good work.
A long ball down the Silsden left was chased and finally centred for Holmes to pick his spot from 15 yards with no Ramsbottom defender within five yards of him.
