Accrington's 64 run win at Ramsbottom left Burnley with a 41 point cushion with just 36 points to play for. Half centuries by professional Ockert Erasmus and Stuart Crabtree helped Accrington to 228-5. Erasmus then took 4-36 to restrict Ramsbottom to 164 all out. Matt Wilson (48) and Crabtree put on 93 after the loss of skipper Graeme Sneddon (7) at 15. Crabtree hit five fours before falling to Jon Fielding (4-60). Erasmus made 61 with nine fours before also falling to the home sides stand-in skipper. Keiren Grimshaw hit an unbeaten 32 and Jacob Clarke 10. David Ormerod (3-30) picked up Tom Parton (7) at 24 and Jimmy Hayhurst (3-35) accounted for Will Turner (24) at 66. Callum Kay (1) and Dale Gabriel (0) both fell cheaply to Hayhurst but Brad Fielding hit 28 to keep Ramsbottom in the game. The dismissal of sub professional Wayne Madsen for 46 turned the game Accrington's way with the tail folding to Ormerod and Erasmus. The visitors conceded a total of 44 extras. Accrington's win lifts them to fifth place.
