Ramsbottom United 1 Mossley 1 A MUCH improved performance from United held fourth in the table Mossley. The Rams took the lead right on the stroke of half time through ace marksman Steve Orrell. The visitors to the Riverside Ground levelled through Steve Mallinson with a scrambled affair on 64 minutes. With just seconds left on the clock United striker Russell Brierley, on his return from a dislocated shoulder injury, had a golden opportunity for the winner but his sharpness has yet to return. Twin brother Warren Brierley won the man of the match nomination for a man to man marking role on Mossley dangerman Pedro Brennan.
