Runcorn Town extended their impressive form with a commanding 7-0 victory over West Didsbury & Chorlton on Tuesday evening, marking nearly a year since their last league defeat. Co-manager Darren Moore acknowledged the significance of the result, describing it as potentially the best performance since he and Liam Page took charge two years ago.

The scoring was opened by Kieran Alley, before frontmen Connor Spiers and Luke Nicholls each secured hat-tricks, overwhelming the hosts. The comprehensive defeat prompted West Didsbury & Chorlton joint manager Steve Yarwood to resign immediately after the match.

This latest success underscores Runcorn Town’s strong return to the Midland League Premier Division. The club earned promotion as champions of the North West Counties Football League First Division South last season, ending a four-year absence from Step 5 football. With consecutive wins to start the new campaign, Runcorn has made a clear statement of intent.

While the management team initially harbored doubts about competing at this higher level due to logistical considerations, their early results suggest the squad has adapted swiftly. Liam Page noted that while the club hoped to avoid undue attention, their victory against one of the league’s more favored teams has inevitably drawn notice.

Runcorn Town’s dominant opening fixtures indicate the club is well positioned to consolidate its status in the Midland League Premier Division after their recent promotion.
