FC Isle of Man came from behind to beat Glossop North End on Saturday.
Luke Booth, Alex Maitland, and Charlie Higgins scored in the second half as Rick Holden’s side won 2-3.
The first half was a tense, uneventful affair as the first major chance fell to the hosts when Joel Igwenwanne struck the post from distance in the 21st minute.
The breakthrough came in first-half stoppage time when Al Maitland committed a foul in the box and Jordan Schofield calmly dispatched the resulting penalty to give Glossop a 1-0 lead at the break.
The equaliser arrived in the 65th minute when a long ball over the top found Luke Booth, who expertly lobbed the advancing goalkeeper, Joseph Oldham.
Momentum swung decisively in our favour in the final ten minutes.
In the 80th minute, Maitland redeemed his earlier error by reacting quickest at the back post to poke home a corner.
Five minutes later, Callum Sherry expertly found Dean Pinnington, he played in Charlie Higgins, who slotted home coolly to make it 3-1.
A stoppage-time consolation from Harry Barber-Olufowobi created a nervy finish, but FC Isle of Man held firm for a significant three points.
The result lifts FC Isle of Man to 18th in the NWCFL Premier Division, providing a perfect boost before the festive period.
The Ravens conclude our 2025 fixtures at home this Saturday, December 27 against Stockport Town at The Bowl.
