Bogey side Cheltenham dumped Oldham out of the FA Cup for the fourth time with a narrow victory win at Boundary Park.

On-loan Wigan midfielder Lewis Montrose hit the winner in the 23rd minute for his first career goal.

15 places and 17 points separate the two but Oldham could not find a way past the away side's defense.

Cheltenham keeper Scott Brown made a string of saves to keep the Latics at bay and earn The Robins a second round tie away at League Two Morecambe.
