Torquay finally realised they were here to play football in the second half and pulled two goals back, with veteran centre-half Exodus Geohaghon's long throw-ins causing no end of issues for Guiseley. The nerves of the home fans were eased when Macclesfield equalised at Halifax but with Torquay always looking dangerous, Guiseley simply had to try to score. They did but back came Torquay to make it 4-3. Every time a Guiseley player went to take a throw he’d ask someone in the crowd what the score was at Halifax..”1-1” came the reply. The final whistle blew and the fans invaded the pitch, but there was no cheering just yet. It was a good two minutes before the cheer hit the stands. Halifax had drawn, Guiseley had escaped.
