WARREN Brierley misses Ramsbottom United's FA Cup clash with Chadderton at the Riverside tomorrow (kick-off 3pm) writes STEVE BOTT.

The Rams' defender was forced to come off at St Helens Town on Tuesday night with a toe injury he has been carrying since pre-season.

Brierley will have an X-ray to try to ascertain the full extent of the injury, but, meanwhile, defender Carl McCoy, who was picked up from neighbours Rossendale United, and midfield man Ian Walker, a former Maine Road man, come into United manager Mike Kelly's squad for tomorrow's game.

If there's a result tomorrow, Ramsbottom will be at home to Atherton LR at the Riverside on Tuesday night next week (kick-off 7.45pm).
