A single Redditch goal after 12 minutes prevented Runcorn from picking up any valuable points from the match at the Valley Stadium. The leaves Runcorn one spot above the relegation zone but with Moor Green just one point below on 37, but with a game in hand.

Transfer deadline day has brought three new players to Runcorn in Alessandro Percovich, Jason Van Blerk and Michael McGinn.

Alessandro is the first Italian player to sign for the Linnets and will be pushing to make the goalkeeping jersey his own for next season. Alessandro's previous club was Italian outfit AC Tiano, who play in the Provinciale Di Calcio league

Jason brings a host of football experience having played over 250 football league games for Millwall, Man City, West Brom, Stockport, Hull, Shrewsbury and Macclesfield. A solid central defender who will be a great asset for Runcorn, he has also received 27 Australia caps, scoring one goal.

Midfielder Michael has signed from local Sunday League side Vision Chasers, and is the brother of current left sided midfielder Matty McGinn. He will no doubt be pushing to break into the first team in the remaining games of the season

On the way out is Midfielder Scott Willis, who has been released from his contract.
