A FORMER opponent of Barnoldswick Town were well-defeated by Tottenham Hotspur to bring to an end a remarkable Emirates FA Cup run. Marine, who beat Town controversially in the preliminary round, failed to pull off the biggest shock of them all as a Carlos Vinicius hat trick helped Jose Mourinho s men to a 5-0 victory at Rossett Park. Josh Hmami s last-minute free kick on that day in September proved to be the difference in a 2-1 win but video footage proved that it had not crossed the line to then-Barnoldswick manager Endrit Shehu s dismay. However, is hard to take away the Northern Premier League Division One North West side s achievement winning an amazing seven games before coming up short against a Premier League club who were 160 places above them - the biggest gap in the competition s history.
