Well this is it. The final game of the NPLW season, and we are in it. Our thanks to Runcorn who by winning at Leek, ensured that we play the final in front of our home crowd. A crowd of 1665 v Clitheroe, could we get 2000+ for the final? Our promotion dream is still alive, and it would be so, so welcome given the various roadblocks we have faced in recent years. Albeit some of them self inflicted.
This will be Runcorn's 3rd visit to Borough Park this season having visited in the FAT back in September.
