Match Report

Midfielder, Melford Knight, has signed for the Linnets from New Mills. We'd like to welcome him to the club.

Runcorn started spritely, but Congleton settled in and went ahead in 26th. Strong performance in the second half, but couldn't find the back of the net.

Match Report

Runcorn have signed forward, Paul Crewe, from Atherton LR. We'd like to welcome him to the club.

On a wet and windy Bacup day (is there any other type?) the Linnets opened strongly with Michael Morrison scoring in the 2nd minute. Ged Courtney doubled the tall in the 21st, and Michael Young putting the Linnets three goals up in the 32nd.

Seven minutes in the second half, Robbie Moore's header made it four, but Bacup responded immediately as they tried to get back into the game. Their efforts were rewarded in the 74th minute with a second goal, but despite Runcorn easing off the gas a little in the latter parts of the second half, they still proved too strong for Bacup to overcome the defecit.
