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.

A majestic performance and a clear reminder to the entire NPL that when this Rammy side turns it on, they really can turn it on!

We welcome our visitors from Market Drayton to the HWRS for the second time, the first being the opening fixture of the 2018/19 season - the only season we have played each other.

Never mind the mint cake, could this Tuesday evenings jolly to the lovely market town of Kendal prove to be just the treat?

Well, we scored some goals but that first competitive win of the season remains illusive although there was much to be encouraged by in the mayhem that was the 5-4 defeat in the FA Cup on Saturday.

Diego Donafee sounded serious in his pre-match interview on the Ramsbottom365 site - this wasn't just a cup fixture anymore, it was a game that we simply had to win.
