Awards delight for Runcorn

RUNCORN LINNETS reaped the rewards for their recent excellent form with an awards double from the Hallmark Security League.

Ahead of Saturday’s home victory over Maine Road, club manager Michael Ellison received the Premier Division Club of the Month award for March while centre forward Freddie Potter collected the month’s top player accolade.

Both awards were made by Hallmark Security League chairman, Paul Lawler.

Meanwhile, a collection took place at the game for three children’s cancer charities as part of a community-wide effort in memory of former Runcorn Town junior player, Charlie Lunt on the first anniversary of his death aged 10.

Contributions from fans were followed by donations of £120 from Runcorn Linnets first-team players and £50 by Maine Road FC. ● Runcorn Linnets will be hosting this season’s Reusch Challenge Cup Final on behalf of the Hallmark Security League. The game between City of Liverpool and Sandbach United will take place on Monday, May 1 at the Millbank Linnets Stadium with a 3pm kick-off.

Linnets have a limited number of adult and concession tickets available for their fans. These are for the ground only and can be requested at www. runcornlinnetsfc.co.uk/ tickets, by emailing tickets@runcornlinnetsfc. co.uk or by seeing a trust board member at any Linnets game.

Pre-purchased tickets can if desired be collected on the day of the final from the club’s main reception or can be posted for a small fee.

The match is all-ticket with a capacity of 1,200. There will be no tickets sold at the turnstiles. The concessionary tickets are for OAPs and U16s. Tickets for U12s, who must be accompanied by an adult, are available for £2 from the Hallmark Security League. ●
