Match Report

Runcorn Linnets are delighted to announce the signing of striker Jason Carey from Glossop North End.

Jason was a leading light in the Glossop team, which won a North West Counties League double of league title and Challenge Cup in 2014-15 season and his goals were instrumental in the Hillmen also reaching the FA Vase final at Wembley. He unfortunately missed the final through suspension. Jason has been a prolific scorer at our level not only at Glossop but also before that at Runcorn Town and Formby for whom he played against Linnets in the 2012-13 League Challenge Cup final. Our manager Joey Dunn is naturally thrilled to have Jason on board and to have further strengthened his already exciting attacking options.

It has now been confirmed that, as feared, the injury sustained by Allan Collins in yesterday's 1-0 derby win at 1874 Northwich is indeed a broken collar bone.

Allan suffered the injury soon after coming on as a second-half substitute in the North West Counties League Premier Division match.

All involved with Runcorn Linnets wish Allan a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing him back playing in the Yellow and Green as soon as possible.

Runcorn beat 1874 Northwich in the North West Counties Premier League at The Barton Stadium with a score of 0-1. Michael White put the Linnets ahead with a firm header in the 6 yard box in the 15th minute.

Match Report

The club is sorry to report the death of Ernie Tildsley, a former hometown goalkeeper with Runcorn AFC in the 1950s. He was 87 years old and passed away suddenly on August 28th.

Ernie played at Canal Street under the management of George Vose, the former Manchester United half-back. He was a very capable goalkeeper who produced some outstanding displays, alerting managers of several top-level professional clubs.

A well-known and popular figure in the town, Ernie also played darts in the Runcorn League in later life. We send condolences to Ernie's family and friends at this difficult time.
