CHEADLE TOWN 2 Rams mourn

Ken Bridge RAMSBOTTOM slipped to a shock defeat to struggling Cheadle at the Riverside but the game was overshadowed by the shock death of Ramsbottom manager Ken Bridge.

It is believed the well-respected manager suffered a heart attack soon after the final whistle.

Chris Garside scored the opener for the visitors and Wayne Briddon equalised. Tony Coyne fired home from the spot late on to give the visitors the points.
