RUNCORN Linnets will start their Hallmark Security Premier League campaign at home to West Didsbury & Chorlton on Saturday, kick off 3pm.

This follows the postponement of Wednesday night’s scheduled opener against AFC Liverpool, who face West Didsbury & Chorlton in an FA Cup extra preliminary round replay instead.

Winsford United will then be visitors to the Millbank Stadium next Tuesday, kick off 7.45pm.

The Linnets’ involvement in this season’s FA Cup ended at the weekend.

Runcorn bowed out 2-1 to Hemsworth MW at MDC Sports Stadium in Pontefract.

The hosts went 2-0 ahead inside 17 minutes and Adam Wade’s response with a powerful shot from just inside the area in the 85th minute proved not to be enough.
