Throughout this encounter, the Rams looked comfortably in control and thoroughly deserved the three points.

For the third time this season, a Ramsbottom United cup tie ended with a penalty shoot-out but this time not the result we wanted.

A tie that swung one way then another was finally settled with spot kicks with ‘keeper Kai Calderbank-Park grabbing the headlines.

Another afternoon of frustration for a Ramsbottom United side that just can’t get a consistent run going.

Late, late drama over in St Helens this afternoon with 2 added time goals and a penalty shoot out win!

Ramsbottom United finally managed what they had been threatening all season and complete a convincing victory.

This was one of those games where to blink would mean missing something either on the pitch or off it.

Well that was a wet one! Honours even at the HWRS this afternoon as Harvey Whyte’s stunner was cancelled out just moments later.

The Rams came through what could have been a tricky tie against opponents from one Division lower.

A point for the Rams whichever way you look at it.

An instantly forgettable evening as a well below par Rams went down 3-0 at Prestwich Heys.
