RUNCORN Linnets have secured promotion to the new EVO-STIK (NPL) Division One West for 2018-19.
The results elsewhere this afternoon mean Linnets are assured of at least a second place finish in The Hallmark Security League Premier Division.
They need three points from their remaining four games to be champions.
After so many close shaves and false dawns over recent years this will be a huge reward for the club's staff, players and loyal supporter base.
