Ramsbottom United’s unbeaten five match run came to an end in Tameside on an afternoon of frenetic action, but, ultimately, disappointment.

A penalty scored with virtually the last kick of the game, prevented what would have been a travesty of a score-line.

In front of the BBC television cameras, Ramsbottom United finally gained their first league point of the season at the fifth time of asking.

After the late but deserved reprieve at Stocksbridge on Saturday, Ramsbottom United comfortably cruised into the next round of the FA Cup with a comprehensive victory on Tuesday night.

In a game that started at a whirlwind pace, Ramsbottom United collected their first league win of the season, despite a late fight back by the home side.
