Match Report

The club is happy to announce that it has signed John Halpin from Winsford. John is a tall central defender who has also played for Warrington Town.

The game started with a fast pace, and Atherton were rewarded for the pressure they applied after 17 minutes, and five minutes later, they doubled their tally. Having to come back from a 0-2 defecit, it was evident that a goal from the Linnets before the break would be useful, and Dave Thompson duly obliged in the last minute of the half. In the second half, Atherton came out and gave Runcorn a bit of a drubbing with three more goals in the 63rd, from a penalty, 79th, and 88th minutes.
