Runcorn Linnets Under 15s Yellow will host their Cheshire County FA Junior Cup quarter-final this Sunday (January 14th) on the club's senior pitch at the Millbank Linnets Stadium (ko 2pm).

Since, like their visitors Wallasey Wanderers FC U15s Scopions, having a walkover in the first round, the Linnets youngsters have scored two excellent victories en route to the last eight.

Many of the Runcorn team were spectators when last season's Linnets U15s played in the final of the same competition, gallantly losing 5-3 to Dukinfield Youth, so it would be great to see them get another victory and go all the way - to lift the cup.

The U15s Yellow is our only boys' team at this age group. The team plays in the St Helens & Rainhill Junior League on Saturdays and its Sunday football in the Warrington Junior League.

Progress of the teams so far is as follows:

ROUND ONE:

Both won by walkover – Wallasey Wanderers Scorpions at home to Wilmslow Sports Community FC U15s Pumas and Runcorn Linnets U15s Yellow away to TSC United U14s Reds.

ROUND TWO:

Marple Athletic JFC U15s 1, Runcorn Linnets U15s Yellow 9

Wallasey Wanderers FC U15 Scorpions 11, Sale Communities JFC U15 1

ROUND THREE:

Princes Villa JFC U14s 1, Runcorn Linnets U15s Yellow 6

Wallasey Wanderers FC U15 Scorpions 4, AFC Alsager U15 Cobras 1
