RESERVES HOLD ASHTON ATHLETIC

Runcorn Town Reserves showed what they can do, with an under-strength side holding North West Counties Reserve League side Ashton Athletic Reserves.

With Connor Taylor, Ged Bushell, David Ginever and Matty Johnson all called up for the first team game (and Ben Stubbs unavailable!), Town gave trials to a couple of Runcorn youngsters - goalkeeper Jake Garner and forward Anton Ellison - who both put in good performances.

After a goalless first half, Ashton soon went 2-0 up before Ellison pulled one back by heading home John Dover's cross. And with 20 minutes to go, Danny Cummins scored a "Beckhamesque" free kick that curled into the top corner.
