Will it be a happy holiday for Runcorn?

We renew rivalries with Prescot Cables after a two-season gap with the short trip to the Auto Safety Centre Stadium this Bank Holiday Monday.

As Valerie Park, it was the final home to Runcorn AFC but visits by the 'new' club have provided better memories.

It was with victory at Prescot in April 2022 that we secured a first-time place in the NPL West Play-offs and we have won three of our last four games on the ground.

A second outing in three days is not ideal for Linnets with Prescot having had a little longer to recover from their FA Trophy exertions, having beaten Vauxhall at home on Friday night.

Michael Ellison will be delighted to have come through Saturday's First Round Qualifying test at Stocksbridge PS with a victory. He was without several first-choice players in Yorkshire and had others on the bench.

The manager's team selection left goalkeeper Calvin Hare and skipper Jacques Welsh as the only players to have started all seven games so far.
