Runcorn have today signed Michael Grogan from Skelmersdale United (the Weekly News were a bit premature in reporting it!). Michael, who is 18 years old, is a tall midfielder and is elligible for selection for tomorrow's match against Atherton LR.

A disappointing result with a below par performance from the Linnets allowed St Helens Town take all three points, despite having the lead at half time. St Helens went ahead in the 17th minute after a defensive error, but Thomas Lamb equalised a minute later from the penalty spot following foul on Young. Young Thenput the Linnets ahead in the 38th minute. The second half saw St Helens look the stronger team, with the Linnets not making anything of the chances they created. The equaliser came just five minutes into the second half. St Helens retook the lead in the 75th minute, and it was put out of Runcorn's reach by an unlucky rebound off Halpin in the 88th for an own goal.

Match Report

As some people may be aware, following his absence from Tuesday's Cheshire Senior Cup match against Altrincham, Dave Thompson has suffered injury after falling through the ceiling in a loft. Thankfully, he didn't fall right through, but did suffer damage to his ankle. The subsequent swelling has gone down, and the injury isn't as bad as first feared. It's possible he may be ready to return in just a couple of weeks.

The club has issued a press release regarding the upcoming Altrincham match, the release of the half-season ticket, and it's link up with NicePriceUK.com on the run up to Christmas.
