This game is the reverse of the first game of the season - Lee Donafee's managerial bow - when we headed over to the Wirral and returned with a drab 0-0 point.

After a humiliating 8-0 defeat in their last match, the Rams could have hardly chosen a worst fixture with which to shake off the shackles.

With the heavy rains putting paid to last Saturday's scheduled home game with Clitheroe, the Rams hope to get back on the pitch this weekend when we travel to league leaders Marine.

After last Saturday's game, the best thing for the Rams is to draw a line, put it into the history books and move on swiftly.

We suffered our heaviest ever defeat yesterday at the hands of Warrington Rylands after an 8-0 thumping at Gorsey Lane.

After two home games on the bounce, the Rams hit the road once again, making the relatively short M66/M60/M62 trip to another league newcomer in the shape of Warrington Rylands 1906.

Lee Donafee showed faith in the team that beat Widnes last week, fielding the same line-up again for this match against Kidsgrove Athletic, a side sitting just above the Rams in the league.

With the top half of the table back in reach, and with the feel good factor having returned to Rammy, the second of our back-to-back home games followed against historical bogey side Kidsgrove Athletic.
