Squires Gate vs Runcorn Town

Saturday 4th April 2015 Kick Off: 3:00

Runcorn Town

The Gaffer Good afternoon and welcome to The Royal British Legion Stadium for this afternoon’s home league fixture against Runcorn Town FC. First of all may I welcome Runcorn’s management team and all associated with the club. I hope you feel welcomed and have a safe journey home.

Our performance on Tuesday evening was very pleasing. We had to show two sides to our game in order to get the excellent 2-1 victory. In the 1st half we were dominant and were a threat to the West’s defenders on a regular basis. Apart from Ben Fletcher having to pull off a fantastic save in the opening 10 minutes I felt we deserved our 2 goal lead at half time. In the 2nd half the heavens opened and with a strong gale in our faces we had to defend resolutely which I thought we did very well. Our solid foundation of being able to defend when needed has stood us in good stead for the vast majority of the season and I feel that this has been the corner stone to the success that we have had so far. We hope to continue our performance levels in this area for the remaining 5 games whilst still having the guile and flare to break teams down. Tommo, myself and the players have talked on a regular basis about wanting to finish the season strong and we hope to continue that today.

Our opponents today are not to be underestimated. They have had some fantastic results over the course of the season, beating Barrow FC in the FA Cup and Runcorn Linnets both away from home are 2 that spring to mind. There’s no room for complacency in football and that is certainly the case today. I hope the players continue to do themselves proud and play with commitment and passion in todays and the remaining 4 games of the season.

I hope you enjoy the game and visit us again for our next home fixture….

GATE TAKE EXCELLENT POINT FROM LEADERS LINNETS Squires Gate hosted league leaders Runcorn Linnets on Tuesday night in what would be one of there toughest tests this year. Linnets currently sit fourth in the form table having won four of their last six. In there ranks they have Freddie Potter who has scored a lot of vital goals towards the ends of games to secure points for linnets so is someone who they'll have to look out for. Gate made 3 changes from Saturdays 0-0 draw with Winsford, Zach Clark, Billy McKenna and Danny Penswick all coming into the starting line-up.

It was a quick start to the game with both sides looking up for it and looking lively.

Ben Fletcher was called into action after just 5 minutes in goal for Gate, his brilliant save denied what would have been a wonderful opener from Linnets. Runcorn had another chance soon after, Lomax sent though his shot beating Ben Fletcher but luckily for Gate Captain Penswick got back on the line to clear the ball and keep Gate in the game. Gate's best chance of the opening exchanges came when Harry Dunn beat 3 men through the middle before slipping Mark Buchan in but his shot was saved well. Linnets opened the scoring on 28 minutes, the ball fired into the box found Michael White at the back post to head the opener. Gate had the chance to level just minutes later Harry Dunn with the reverse pass sent Richards into the box but his piledriver was well saved by Mottram in the Linnets goal. As half time approached Gate had four clear chances in the last five minutes.

Gate continued their good form into the start of the second half and opens the scoring just five minutes in. Good link up play between McKenna and Richards down the right before Buchan met with a Richards cross in to level the scoring.

Linnets top scorer Freddie Potter, could have put Linnets ahead on 56 minutes but after he'd rounded Ben Fletcher his shot could only find the side netting.

Fletcher made up for his mistake with a fine save which set up a counter attack for Gate, the end shot from Murphy though was fired over the bar. Gate's final chance of the night fell to Zach Clark he found space in behind but was judged to be offside.

After the game Gate manager Dave McCann said:" I thought we throughout deserved our point and possibly should have gained all three. I though we took the game to them and were a threat all night. It was probably one of our best performances of the season and we'll be looking to continue this for the last eight games."

Gate have a week off now and aren't back on action until they travel to 1874 Northwich on the 21st March.

Squires Gate visited Runcorn Linnets on Saturday looking to get back on track after conceding late against 1874 Northwich. The two teams met earlier in the month at School Road with the final score 1-1. Coming into the game Linnets sit 8 points clear of Glossop at the top of the league. Gate Anderson one change to the starting 11 with Zach Clark coming in for Michael Hall. New signings Ashely Rowley and Joshua Kay both started in the bench for this game.

Gate had an early chance less than a minute into the game to open the scoring. A pass played back to Mottram didn't have enough power on it but with Buchan baring down Mottram in goal did all he could to get to the ball first and clear it out of danger. Gate again looked to attack early on and on 5 minutes Zach Clark sent in a lovely ball that just needed any touch to score but no one could get on the end of it. Gates early chances seemed to wake the home side up and they went on to be the better team in the first half. A long ball pumped forward from the Linnets goalkeeper found Kevin Towey at the edge of the box who did brilliantly to control the ball but his shot fell straight into the hands of Picture by Steve McLellan

The opener came in the 16th minute, the ball fired out to the left was well controlled before the cross into the box was met by Josh Westwood who's clearance could only find the back of the net to score the own goal. The home side doubled the lead 15 minutes later when Adam Wade controlled the ball on the edge of the box edits unleashing the shot which flew into the bottom corner past the helpless Fletcher. The home side could have made it three late in the half but a brilliant point blank save from Fletcher kept the score at 2-0 going into half time.

The start of the second half started much like the first ended, Ben Fletcher again keeping Gate in the game early on. Gate looked a lot better in the second half and more like the team that has been successful this season.

Billy McKenna had a chance 20 minutes into the second half. Good hold up play by Alex Mckendrick on the edge of the box before playing through McKenna but his shot was tipped over. Gate then could have scored soon after but Chris Anderson's free kick was just wide if the far post. Perhaps Gates best chance of the game fell to Josh Westwood but his header flew over the bar.

As the game went on Linnets seemed to be happy to settle for what they had got and didn't really cause Gate any notable problems.

After the game Gate manager Dave McCann said: We were very disappointed with our 1st half performance, we lacked the qualities we've possessed all season that has got us where we are. Our 2nd half performance was much better, information that was given at half time was took on board and we asked questions of them. We need to move forward and be positive for Tuesday's game. Runcorn deserved their win and I wish them all the best for the rest of the season.

RUNCORN Town Runcorn Town were formed in 1967 under the name of Mond Rangers FC. They played for the first few years in the Runcorn Sunday league, and in 1973 they made the decision to try Saturday football in the impressive Warrington and District League (WDL).

Mond established themselves as a good, solid mid-table team until the 1991/92 season when they won their first silverware in the West Cheshire Bowl as well as a respectable sixth place finish. The following season they finished third in the league and reached the Bowl final, with another third place finish the following season in which they scored 100 goals and regaining the Bowl. Promotion finally came in 1994/95 when they finished second in the league scoring 118 goals. They also reached the Final of the Cheshire Amateur Cup but lost to Poulton Victoria in a match played at Prenton Park, Tranmere.

The season got off to a good start with the Bill Weight Memorial Cup won early on and the Runcorn Cup added, but on the final day of the season, they slipped into the relegation places for the first time to suffer a heart-breaking relegation. Town quickly regrouped and bounced back the next season by winning Division Two for the first time.

The following three seasons saw top four finishes, although the main progression was off the field as the ground was transformed. Hard standing, seating and floodlights were installed for the first time, with the dressing rooms also upgraded. This enabled the club to be elected to the North West Counties League at the start of the 2010/11 season, with the club also entering the FA Vase and the Cheshire Senior Cup for the first time in their history.

It is fair to say that the first season in the league exceeded all expectations, with the team losing just two league matches as they secured promotion to the Premier Division as runners-up, with James McShane finishing as the league's overall leading scorer with 43 goals. The Quarter Final of the Division One Trophy was also reached as well as the Semi Final of the Challenge Cup, whilst Warrington Town were held in the Cheshire Senior Cup before losing on penalties.

In the clubs' FA Vase debut season, the club also wrote headlines as they progressed through four successive away ties before bowing out in the in the Last 32 stage against Dunston UTS, the last remaining North West Counties League side in the competition.

The club were also once again the last remaining NWCL side in the FA Vase, this time reaching a replay in the Last 32 before bowing out. We also made our debut in the FA Cup, winning two games before bowing out in the 1st Qualifying Round to Evo-Stik League side Ashton United.

Last season was another good season for the club, finishing in fourth place in the Premier Division just four points off top spot. Progress was made in the FA Vase with the Last 16 reached for the first time, with the 1st Qualifying Round of the FA Vase made once more. Another good scalp came in the Cheshire Senior Cup with a 5-0 away win at Warrington which earned the "Team of the Round" award.

SQUIRES GATE

Murphy (25)

1874 LEFT IT LATE BUT STEAL A POINT FROM GATE Squires Gate were on their travels again this weekend this time returning to Winsford where 1874 Northwich were the opponents. Gate made the same trip two weeks ago when they drew 0-0 with Winsford. Gate opponents for today, 1874 Northwich are a fan owned club in their first year in the North West Counties Premier Division. This is the first time the clubs have met in the league. 1874 sit two places above Gate in third position on 60 points whilst Gate sit fifth on 55 points. Gate made two changes to the team that drew 1-1 with league leaders Runcorn Linnets during the week, Danny Penswick returning in place of Zach Clark from suspension and Alex McKendrick coming back onto the bench. he game started at a quick pace with both teams looking to play with a quick tempo. 1874 had a good spell of pressure early on but could create noting due to a combination of good defending by Gate and a lack of a killer instinct meant they could find any way through. Gates first chance of the game came when Mark Buchan was fouled just outside the box and the striker would take the resulting free kick but could only find the wall.

Gates next chance was the best of the opening 20, good link up play between Dunn and Buchan but Dunn's ball across the box couldn't find a Gate man. Gates pressure would finally pay off when they would take the lead on the 25th minute.

Picture by Steve McLellan

The ball thrown into the box and what seemed like a fairly easy catch for 1874 keeper Matt Conkie was made difficult when Alex Murphy got his head to the ball before Conkie could claim. Murphy's quick reactions then saw him take the ball down and slot into the empty net with Conkie grounded to score his 11th league goal of the season. That's how the two Picture by Steve McLellan teams would go into half time, just the one goal separating them but both teams very much still in the game.

The second half came but didn't affect either team who both still went for the win.

Gates passing accuracy and closing down will surely please the management team with this evident throughout the second half on what is a difficult pitch. Gate will also be happy with the ability shown to keep a team that has scored 60 goals so far this season quiet. Gate restricting the home side to mostly long range shots with Keeper Ben Fletcher not having much to do. Alex Murphy showed good vision five minutes into the second half when he found space on the right hand side of the box but before he could get a shot away 1874 defender Lee Duckworth cleared the ball off his toe. Gate had a golden chance to make it 2-0 and possibly to wrap up the game. With 1874 pushing forward for the equaliser Gate caught them on the break 3 vs 3 and with the ball at his feet Harry Dunn chose to pass instead of shoot.. His ball found Mark Buchan but the inform striker could only find the post much to the disbelief of most of the crowd. Gate would be made to pay the price for that miss shortly after when on the 88th minute substitute Chris Lunn found space at the near post the squeeze the ball past Fletcher to equalize for the home side. And that's how the game would end, Gate perhaps unlucky not to hold on to get all three points but a point makes it five unbeaten for Squires Gate.
