WARRINGTON GAME - GAME ON!

Runcorn Town will embark upon their first ever Cheshire Senior Cup adventure this evening, with the game against Warrington Town getting the go ahead after heavy rain on Monday threatened a postponement.

An inspection was carried out at 1.30pm with the pitch holding up remarkably well after the bad weather. A later inspection with a referee scheduled for 3.00pm was cancelled, with the game no longer in doubt.

Town will be looking to add to an impressive season in cup football with three higher division scalps already taken in the FA Vase and Vodkat League Cup.

Warrington though will be a tougher test on paper, and will be the first time that we have played a team from the Evo-Stik League in a competitive fixture.

Kick off is at 7.45pm and admission prices for the game are £5.00 Adults and £2.00 Concessions. This is higher than our usual admission price for league games, but our hands are tied on the matter as this is the minimum price set by Cheshire FA for all games in the competition.

11.00am Update
The weather in Runcorn this morning is being kind to us and hopefully it will remain that way throughout the day.

The sun is attempting to break through and there is a brisk wind which will no doubt be good for drying the pitch ahead of tonight's match.

The pitch inspection will still take place but we are a lot more confident today than last night, and if pushed we would say there is an 80% chance of the game going ahead.

Tonights game against Warrington Town in the Cheshire Senior Cup is in doubt following the heavy rain that has affected the area over the last 24 hours.

The club will be holding a pitch inspection at 3.00pm to determine whether the game will go ahead, and an update will be posted on the website as soon as it has been completed.
