One story that "couldn't be scripted" per season is usually enough - but Guiseley are apparently greedy because they have had two in the first two months of the campaign.

The late winner in last Saturday's FA Cup first qualifying-round tie against Mossley was more than just another strike.

When substitute Craig Hall netted the goal that earned Guiseley a home tie in next Saturday's second qualifying round, again against UniBond Premier Division rivals in the form of Gateshead, he was opening his club account.

"It was his first for Guiseley and what a story, what a memory for the lad," said manager Neil Parsley.

"To get your first goal for your club is always a milestone. For Craig to do it in the FA Cup, in such dramatic circumstances, was Roy of the Rovers stuff.

"We had been in front for so long after Stuart Gray scored the first in the first half. Mossley equalised in the 82nd minute but we hit straight back and Craig put us into the next round.

"It was objective achieved and the only thing that will be remembered about the tie in years to come will be Craig's late winner."

Just weeks earlier, Parsley and his side were on the wrong end of a Boys Own special edition when they were held to a 2-2 draw at Witton, after being 2-0 up, by another late drama.

Two minutes from time, Witton goalkeeper Jon Worsnop - the former Bradford City youth who was all set to sign for Guiseley in the close season before changing his mind - came up for a corner and thumped a header into the top corner to equalise.

This prompted Parsley to reflect "you couldn't write the script, could you" in his post-match interview.
