RAMSBOTTOM'S new managerial partnership of Andy Grimshaw and Jimmy Clarke are still searching for their first win since taking over from Mike Kelly, who resigned three games ago.

Grimshaw - a former player at Ramsbottom and ex-coach at Rossendale United - and Clarke saw their new side go down 2-1 at home to Squires Gate. Mark Brown put them ahead early in the first half but the visitors hit back with a killer blow of two goals just before half-time.

The Rams have now failed to win in their last five games.

They last win was the 4-0 drubbing of Warrington on October 1.
