Cameron Holmes doubled the advantage just seven minutes later as Carnforth came flying out of the blocks.

Prolific striker Jordan Chubb gave Division Two side Dalton a lifeline just before half-time.

But Knight settled the tie with 15 minutes left on the clock to earn Rangers the Challenge Cup trophy, which they were awarded at the full-time whistle.
