Kendal Town 0, Farsley Celtic 2
The dismissal of keeper Greg Price for handling outside the penalty box cost Kendal dear as defeat plunged them closer to the relegation area.
Early in the second half the Unibond League Division One game was still goalless when Price misjudged the bounce of a ball and strayed outside the edge of his area to handle the ball clear of an onrushing Farsley forward.
Even then stand in keeper John Dann looked up to the task of keeping a clean sheet against lacklustre Farsley until he forgot that keepers are no longer allowed to catch the ball, roll it along the ground then pick it up again.
It gifted Farsley a free-kick just eight yards out from the goal which Ian Blackstone powered it through the still forming defensive wall and into the net.
With just 15 minutes left the 10 men of Kendal tried hard to get on terms, but their misery was compounded with virtually the last kick of the match when from a breakaway Robbie Whellans collected the ball and ran on unchallenged before lofting a perfect shot into the top corner.
