TOWN PROMOTED AS CHAMPIONS

Runcorn Town returned to West Cheshire Division One as Champions, with a 3-2 win over MANWEB securing both promotion and the league title.

The game, which was Town's tenth win in eleven games, got off to a bad start when MANWEB's Ashton Gibiluru turned in a corner from close range. However Connor Taylor, making his first team debut after some good performances in the reserves, soon broke down the right and crossed for Andy Faraday to bundle home.

MANWEB were not to be deterred though and took the lead again, with Gibiluru hitting an unstoppable shot from 20-yards. On the stroke of half time it was 2-2 with Town scoring a near identical goal to the first - Taylor broke on the right and crossed for Faraday.

Town missed a host of chances throughout the game and it looked destined to be one of those days, but man-of-the-match Taylor secured the title winning points with Town's third. He burst through the offside trap on the right and advanced into the box before scoring at the second attempt, the keeper having saved his first shot.
