Ramsbottom United v Squires Gate Match Report

The Rams soared to the top of the League with this victory, but it was not as comfortable as the scoreline suggests. Indeed, with half-time approaching and the score goal-less, it was the visitors who would have felt more comfortable, for they edged the first period, until as moment of madness altered the course of the game.

Ramsbottom v Colne (FA Vase Rd.1) Match Report

The Rams met Colne for the third time this season, and after two tight league games when both sides won on opposing territory, third time round saw United triumph in some style.

Ramsbottom United v Flixton Match Report

The Rams were denied a fourth straight league victory by an 88th minute equaliser as the visitors twice came from behind to deny the home side all three points. To be fair, it was no more than they deserved, for as the game wore on, it was Flixton who looked the stronger, and their late leveller was just reward for their second half pressure.
