Friday's North Division review

By David Watters

Trafford travelled to the Harry Williams Riverside Stadium to play Ramsbottom United on Friday night looking for their first win of the 2017-18 EVO-STIK League North campaign, writes Pitchero's Steve Whitney.

And they are still winless in seven games after Rammy moved, albeit perhaps briefly, into second spot behind South Shields following a 3-1 success in front of a decent crowd of 369.

The deadlock was broken on the half-hour mark when Jerome Wright ran half the length of the pitch to put the ball past Trafford keeper Grant Shenton at the second attempt. But two minutes before the break, Scott Sephton grabbed Trafford`s leveller.

However, on the hour-mark, Ramsbottom re-took the lead with a goal from former Trafford player Greg Daniels from close range. And the home side confirmed victory six minutes from time when Max Hazeldine scored after some good persistence from both him and Jamie Rother.
