RAMSBOTTOM manager Mike Kelly says his side are now becoming very difficult to beat.

They have lost just once in seven NWCL Division One games and have conceded just one goal in the last three.

They face Atherton LR at home tomorrow.

"We haven't conceded a goal in open play for three games and defences were definitely on top on Wednesday against Clitheroe."

The Rams drew 0-0 at Shawbridge.

Kelly will be struggling to name a side tomorrow. He has Mike Smith (slipped disc), Phil Porter (chest infection), Steve Brennan (work commitments), Mike Langhorn (calf) and Darren Blore (back) all out and Danny Goodall is doubtful with a hamstring strain.
