A RACE night is being held at the Prospect Inn, Weston Road, on Easter Saturday, April 7 in aid of Runcorn Linnets Football Club. The event starts at 7.45pm.

Earlier the same day, club officials, members and supporters will be doing a sponsored walk to Wincham Park for the 3pm kick-off home game against Bootle - from the site of Runcorn FC's former Canal Street ground, now the Linnet Park housing estate.

The fans are dedicating the event to Fred Kearsley, who in the 1960s regularly walked long distances to matches involving the old Runcorn club.
