Ramsbottom United were brought back down to earth in the North West Counties Premier Division with a 3-2 defeat to neighbours Padiham at the Riverside.

The Storks’ superb victory was all the more surprising as they came back from two goals down.

Ian Flannery sent the Rams into a 20th-minute lead and, three minutes into the second half, Jon Robinson doubled their advantage.

But Padiham stunned their high-flying hosts with three goals in 20 minutes.

Barry Shuttleworth began the comeback on 54 minutes, and Lee Morris equalised from the penalty spot five minutes later.

Morris completed the job for the Storks with a 73rd- minute winner, in front of a crowd of 220.

Lesser Town. We offer you a singular and original ambient designed by AI DESIGN architectural studio in cooperation with Eva Jiřičná Architects atelier in London, sensitively set in the premises of the historical house At the Three Storks, thus creating perfect harmony between the extant Renaissance interior and the most advanced design. During the reconstruction of the house, major emphasis was put on application of clear line and combination of natural materials, metal, stone, glass and wood. Highly unconventional interior design may be found in the hotel reception and lobby bar dominated by a reception desk and a bar, both made of illumined cut stone. Another interesting feature is a panoramic lift finely incorporated in the old architecture, faciliating access to individual guest rooms.
