RAMSBOTTOM ended Bacup's unbeaten run last night in a game that saw four goals and the home side reduced to nine men.

The visitors took the lead on 35 minutes when Bacup keeper Billy Carrington's attempted clearance hit Ryan Moore as he closed in and the ball bounced into the open goal.

But Bacup hit back when Lee Oldham smashed home a volley from a part-cleared corner.

The home side ended the half a man down as Lee Anderson was sent off for a second bookable offence.

Ramsbottom took the lead again and Bacup lost another player when Dean Rupello deliberately handled the ball in the box and got a red card.

Moore tucked away the spot kick for his fifth of the season.
