Runcorn Linnets Player of the Season, Lloyd Balazs, has been offered the chance to step up to a higher level after his excellent showing in Linnets colours last season. Despite having been dogged by injury during pre-season and at the start of this season, Lloyd is slowly regaining full fitness and has been approached by Evo Stick Premier side Kendal Town to join them. The Linnets have retained Lloyd’s registration for the Vodkat League and he will be more than happy to return to The Linnets if life at a higher level doesn’t work out. Lloyd leaves with our very best wishes and he has asked that we express his gratitude and sincere thanks to the board, members of the trust and the fans for all their great support and for the opportunity he has had at Runcorn Linnets.

Runcorn beat Formby in the Vodkat Premier League at The Millbank Linnets Stadium with a score of 3-2.

Match Report

It has been confirmed this evening that Runcorn Linnets FC have parted company with First Team Manager, Steve Wilkes.

Although unbeaten since the start of the season, the performances have been patchy and inconsistent, and the targets and expectations discussed with the Manager in pre-season have not been met, despite the fact that the club has a good group of young players.

The club would like to put on record their thanks to Steve Wilkes and Ian McGarry for their efforts, and wish them and their families well for the future.

Runcorn Linnets will be having discussions with various parties over the coming days to arrange the appointment of a new management team. The club wishes to appoint a manager with the right credentials to move the club forward and fulfil the great potential at the club. Any candidates who wish to be considered should contact the club with a footballing CV and brief letter of application as soon as possible via eMail to [email protected].
