SOCCER: Ramsbottom's games at home to St Helens on Saturday and against Maine Road on Tuesday have been postponed as a mark of respect to manager Ken Bridge, who died of a suspected heart attack after Tuesday's game against Cheadle Town.

North West Counties League fixture secretary Ian Moffatt said: "Ken was extremely well known throughout the league.

"He was very popular with a lot of clubs so I think it was the appropriate thing to do."
