We were delighted to catch up last Saturday with Holker Old Boys, winners of the Premier Division Club of the Month award for October 2024.

Ramsbottom United Manager Ste Wilkes is pictured receiving the award from League Vice Chairman Geoff Wilkinson who carried out the presentation on behalf of the League Committee.

Rammy had their best month since returning to the NWCFL last season with an unbeaten month with five wins and two draws from their seven games played. They scored 14 goals at an average of 2.0 per game, helping the club to pick up this award for the first time since it was known as the Manager of the Month award, with Bernard Morley & Anthony Johnson winning it in April 2011!

Rammy started the month with a hard fought 2-2 draw at West Didsbury & Chorlton in the Macron Cup, letting slip a lead twice before winning on penalties. A 1-0 win followed away at FC Isle of Man, before Rammy let another lead slip in the 1-1 draw at Barnoldswick Town.

The last four games of the month though were perfect, with three wins in the league and progression in the FA Vase. Cheadle Town and AFC Liverpool were both beaten at home in 2-1 wins before a 2-0 win over First Division North side Euxton Villa. A 4-0 win on the last Saturday of the month at Litherland REMYCA helped secure this award, that helping them finish top of the table as we headed into November.

Those results gave Ramsbottom 20 points from their 7 games for a 2.86 average.

The closest challengers were Irlam with four wins and two draws from their six games, with West Didsbury & Chorlton, Padiham and Bury all doing well also. 

Congrations to everyone at the club!
