RAMSBOTTOM are hoping they don't suffer a backlash from a St Helens side who have fallen from grace in recent weeks.

Rammy travel to Knowsley Road for the first time to take on a side who have slipped to fifth place in NWCL Division One.

And Ramsbottom will be without the unavailable Mark Thomas, the suspended Danny Goodhall while Darren Bowman is suffering from a hamstring strain.

But Russell Brierley will be looking to maintain his current scoring streak which has seen him score five goals in the last two games.
