A 93rd minute winner from substitute Dean Lecee saw FC Isle of Man lay to rest the ghost of an early season humbling and climb up into a play-off spot.
With Paul Jones unavailable, assistant Alex Harrison steered the side to a 2-1 win away at Litherland Remyca.
The first half lacked much of a punch as the players struggled to get to grips with was a difficult playing surface.
The one big event of the first 45 minutes saw Adam Killey play the hero as he saved a Litherland penalty.

The Ravens came out strong in the second half and when the home side were reduced to 10 men, skipper Frank Jones took advantage by heading FC Isle of Man into the lead from a corner.

The lead didn’t last long however as Litherland were gifted a soft penalty for handball.
With time ticking away, Dean Pinnginton won the ball wide on the right and picked out Leece with an inch perfect pass, he kept his cool and slotted under the Litherland keep to ensure the Ravens made it three wins on the bounce.

That win takes the Ravens fifth ahead of a double header away weekend beginning with a trip to third-bottom Longride Town and culminating with a bank holiday Monday game away at rock bottom Skelmersdale United.
