Adam Lakeland is spurred on by Farsley Celtic’s FA Trophy exploits
And Farsley manager Adam Lakeland believes beating a side like Altrincham in the manner they did was a huge result which will stand them in good stead for the rest of the season.
“I’m delighted,” said Lakeland looking back on Tuesday’s 2-1 first-round replay victory. “We should have won the game on Saturday, we were the better team and had the better chances but it was a super challenge going there in the replay.

Despite the challenge Lakeland admitted his side faced, Farsley came out on top and he was proud of his side’s display.
He added: “We showed effort, togetherness, resilience and moments of quality when we had opportunities to play, I felt we deserved it.
“Fitness levels were absolutely immense because we did spend long spells without the ball so every credit to the players and keeping their concentration. It’s a big win for the football club.”
