CHORLEY were stunned by Bamber Bridge as the Magpies grip on the Lancashire Challenge Trophy lasted just one game.

Chris Marlow scored the only goal of the contest for the visitors and it means Jamie Vermiglio's men have now lost four on the bounce ahead of their FA Cup first round clash at home to League One side Doncaster Rovers on Sunday.

Clitheroe, beaten finalists last season, are also out after falling to a heavy defeat to Southport.

The National League North Sandgrounders ran out 6-0 winners to seal their place in the last eight.

Padiham were knocked out by Radcliffe Borough with the Evo-Stik side prevailing 2-0 on their own patch.

It means East Lancashire hopes rest on Colne, who travel to Longridge Town tonight, and Bacup Borough whose trip to Prestwich Heys is on Tuesday.

There was better news for Ramsbottom United though who continued their improved form with victory at Prescot Cables in the Evo-Stik West.

Rammy had won at Skelmersdale on Saturday and returned to the same ground to take on Cables.

And they made it back to back wins with a 4-0 success.

The game featured a goal from goalkeeper Sam Ashton who scored from 60 yards to make it 3-0 in the second half after Nialle Rodney and Nic Evangelinos put Chris Willcock's men two up at the break. Jamie Rother completed the scoring.
