THE Blues lost this match with virtually the last kick as Blue Star left Shawbridge with all three points.

Twice Anthony Johnson had levelled for Clitheroe after the visitors have stolen the advantage.

And when his equaliser hit the back of the net in the 86th minute, it looked like honours would end even.

Indeed, the Blues could have nicked it themselves, but Danny Taronczak squandered a one-on-one.

But they were hit with a sucker-punch as the visitors were awarded a free-kick and curled the ball into the top corner, despite protests over whether the free-kick was indirect or direct.
