Bacup Borough boss Brent Peters will be urging his side to tighten up their defence ahead of tonight’s derby at Ramsbottom United.

The two clubs currently sit side by side in mid-table in the Vodkat League Premier Division - Bacup are 11th and Ramsbottom are 12th - but the visitors will go into the game on the back of a 4-2 home loss to Runcorn Linnets.

Ramsbottom will be bidding to get back on track at the Riverside after their six-match unbeaten run in the league came to an end with defeat at Alsager on Saturday.
