"We know we have got him permanently here so I’m really happy.”Vermiglio added: “I am over the moon.“I thought it was a strong performance from the beginning right through to the end against a very good side.“They came at us full force, they have lots of strength going forward but we were more than a match for them.“We got a good goal in the first half.“The penalty in the second half was a little bit of a relief because they were coming at us but we hold on, keep the clean sheet at home on a Tuesday night.“With the 700 supporters on a cold night was fantastic.“To get the win puts a few clear and gives us some breathing space.“We needed that after Southport because we were nowhere near our best.“There were some really strong performances on Tuesday.”In the NPL Premier Division a last-gasp Ally Waddecar equalised clinched a 2-2 draw as Bamber Bridge claimed a point against Lancaster.Goal-crazy AFC Fylde won their FA Trophy replay with Ramsbottom 4-1 to seal a place in the quarter-finals.
