RAMSBOTTOM United claimed their sixth successive win to climb to 10th in Evo-Stik First Division North.

The visitors took the lead in North Yorkshire after 17 minutes when good work from Phil Dean and Gary Stopforth ended with Dominic Smalley finding the top corner.

Tom Brooks somehow missed from close range as he attempted to make it 2-0 but Ramsbottom’s second goal did arrive in the 35th minute when Stopforth’s pass allowed Jon Robinson to round the keeper and score.

And it was 3-0 a minute before half time as Smalley was upended in the box and Dean hammered home the penalty.

A fourth Ramsbottom goal came 20 minutes fromtime as they made it 23 goals in their last five games.

Dean drove into the box from the left and his cross-shot dropped into the net.

A foul on the man of the match then led to Harrogate’s Joel Dixon being sent off.
