RAMSBOTTOM were left to rue Robbie Smith and Matt Swailes' missed chances when Abbey Hey scored the only goal of the game.
Demis O'Hanjanian was given time and space inside the Rams half and curled a looping shot over the stranded Paul Horridge to put the home side in front a minute into the second half.
Vince Overson's Rams had plenty of possession after that but were restricted to half chances that never caused Mottershead any real problem.
