The Rams are running something hot and cold this season and have now slipped to eighth place in the table having risen as high as third during their four successive wins earlier in the season.

A couple of unwanted defeats in the past week has seen some questions raised as to whether we could keep up the standards of our early league form.

With two league defeats on the spin across the last week, Ramsbottom United manager Lee Donafee is desperate to get back to winning ways.

The Rams head up to current league leaders Workington knowing who and what they are up against - their former manager Chris Willcock and a number of former players.

Things are definitely looking up for the Rams and so they should be. A settled side, a happy team, a manager who is working brilliantly with his charges and getting the best out of them.

A nice warm night at the Riverside to enjoy tonight's game against our visitors Colne FC, who boasted a welcomely boisterous travelling support who were in full song. 

They always say that momentum is a key factor in sport. With three wins from the last three competitive games, Lee Donafee's side certainly have that ahead of this local clash.

The Rams started the week in 18th place and finished it just two points shy of top spot in third as his charges collected a maximum of nine points, scored 12 goals and conceded just two.
