Runcorn Linnets made their own history last week beating Ashton United away in the FA Cup 3rd round qualifying. Today they hosted Buxton, two leagues above, in the final qualifying round…
They were so close to meeting a proper league side if they won today, but alas it was 1-0 to Buxton around the 90th minute… cruel way to go! Runcorn were certainly on top second half, hit the bar, goal line clearances from the visitors multiple times etc… cracking day for the club non the less with a sell out crowd of 1,600.
