The sheer amount of consecutive home games we’ve had is starting to take its toll on the pitch and unfortunately tonight’s scheduled game has now been called off.

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.

This will be the first ever competitive meeting between our two clubs, whichever incarnation of the football club in Bury that is.

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

Once again, the league season is halted as the road to Wembley reopens in the FA Vase with visitors from the east heading into town.

The Rams needed two added time goals to rescue a point from our bonfire night game with Longridge Town.

One lap down and six to go in the home game marathon but the Rams found that first one somewhat hard going.

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