Match Report

West Didsbury & Chorlton have confirmed the signing of centre back Kev McGrath from Runcorn Linnets.

The experienced defender arrived at The Millbank in pre-season but injury and then work commitments limited his appearances to just four.

Revealing in the Question & Answer session after Thursday's AGM that the move was likely , Linnets manager Michael Ellison and assistant Matt Cross had only good things to say about Kev.

All at Runcorn Linnets wish him well.

The club can now announce the result of the Trust Board elections, with the count taking place at the AGM earlier this evening. The outcome sees a newcomer to the board through the election of Mike Bignall.

The votes for each candidate were independently counted and verified by Rob Ashcroft and John Coats from 1874 Northwich Supporters Trust.

Voting papers were received from 83 members with one paper being spoiled.

There were six candidates for a handful of places in this rotation and those polling the highest number of votes down to the fifth highest were therefore elected to serve on the Trust Board for the next two years.

The result (in alphabetical order of surname) was as follows: Mike Bignall 57; Ciaran Clotworthy 48; Hedley Edwards 60; Robert Johnston 77; John Pickering 69 and Steve Pritchard 77.

Congratulations to Mike Bignall, Hedley Edwards, Robert Johnston, John Pickering and Steve Pritchard on their success and commiserations to Ciaran Clotworthy with thanks for her valued contribution as a member of the Trust Board.
