Michael Ellison says Runcorn Linnets face a crucial period as the forthcoming run will “determine” their promotion credentials.

It has been a dramatic start to the former Widnes managers’ start to life back at the APEC Taxis Stadium after hard-fought wins in the league.

Linnets needed a late salvo to snatch the win from the jaw of defeat against Chasetown. However, their run continues with back-to-back matches with the Northern Premier League West’s top two in Avro and Lower Breck.

It’s a huge opportunity for Ellison’s side to lay a marker in the race for promotion with three consecutive home matches.
