RUTHIN took another step towards easing their basement worries after snatching a timely last-gasp victory over Holyhead Hotspur.

It was a vital success for Town, particularly as several of the sides below them in the table were also in winning form at the weekend.

The encounter looked to he heading for a draw when, right at the death, Gary Ellison pounced to seal the precious three points for Ruthin with a close range header from a corner.
