RAMSBOTTOM United slumped to their seventh defeat in 11 games when individual errors cost them dear at Blackpool Rovers last night.

United had a mountain to climb at 3-0 down after just 18 minutes before eventually going down 5-3 in the North West Counties League Division One.

Two penalties from Craig Chadwick pulled them back to 3-2 before Blackpool pulled away again. Seventeen-year-old Joel Warner grabbed United's third with a fine individual goal, his first for the first team.
