That was his second goal in eight appearances for the Coasters.

"It has just been a frustrating time for me,” he said.

"Obviously things that I can’t really control have happened. I have come back from that, then I got a niggle that kept me out, so on different things it has been frustrating.”

The win moved the Coasters up to eighth in the table, just six points off the top.

Saturday’s game was heading for a goalless draw before Rowe collected the ball on the half-turn and let fly from 35 yards. Fylde’s Twitter account described the goal as ‘trademark Danny Rowe.’

On his winner, Rowe said: “It was getting frustrating the longer the game went on, I think people were starting to think that it would not happen, so when I scored it was kind of a relief that it went in on a personal point but for the team as well.

"I was in front of goal from quite a distance and there was nothing really on so I just thought I would have a go. It moved a bit, people will probably say the keeper should have done better, I actually thought it was going to go over. I was happy to see it go in.”
