Non-League 25/26

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.

A lovey afternoon for the football at Hucknall.

A 2-0 win against lowly AFC Mansfield, although it took until the 74th minute for the breakthrough.

The first half was 45 minutes no one will ever get back, but credit to the team in the second half with a lot better performance.

Even the dog enjoyed herself.
