Rutherford winner denies Guiseley point, Middleton sees red in North Ferriby blitz

Guiseley took the lead early on when striker Michael Rankine hit an unstoppable free-kick from 25 yards out, that left Wrexham keeper Chris Dunn with no chance.

The hosts were soon pegged back though when referee Joe Johnson gave a penalty to Wrexham for an adjudged handball, John Rooney took it and scored from the spot.

The away side nearly took the lead when Shaun Harrad’s curled effort required a fingertip save from Dan Atkinson and the ball also hit the underside of the bar.

The second half started with not many chances but substitute Gerry McDonagh’s introduction gave the visitors another option and he headed in a cross to give the Welsh side the lead.

Guiseley equalised and Javan Vidal got an assist when his cross found Jake Lawlor at the back post and he slotted home.

But with a minute to go Paul Rutherford cut inside and from 20 yards curled a fine effort in.

Ten-man North Ferriby United lost 6-1 at Lincoln City.

Ben Middleton was sent off in the first half, as goals from Matt Rhead (2), Nathan Arnold, Luke Waterfall, Jonathon Margetts and Bradley Wood gave City victory. Curtis Bateson netted for United.

FC Halifax Town drew 2-2 with Altrincham after late equaliser from Jordan Sinnott.
