Glossop welcome Runcorn Linnets to Surrey Street for the final game of the 2018-2019 season as they look to build on Monday's victory against Mossley

Whilst Glossop will want to finish the season on a high, Runcorn will be desperate to pick up the three points as they make a last gasp attempt to acheive a play-off place.

Runcorn sit 6th on 69 points, just one place and one point behind Colne who currently occupy the final play-off spot. Just two points separate Runcorn and third placed Leek Town so a victory for Runcorn against Glossop alongside either Leek, Colne or Ramsbottom suffering defeat will guarantee Runcorn a place in the play-offs.

However, this will be no easy fixture for Runcorn. Glossop have won two out of their last three matches, scoring 7 goals in those three games. 3-1 victories over Newcastle Town and eight placed Mossley have provided Glossop with some much needed momentum.

Glossop are 17th with 31 points and cannot be caught by 18th placed Clitheroe however they cannot reach Market Drayton Town who are 9 points ahead.

Easter Monday's victory at Mossley saw goals from Jack O'Leary, Szymon Czubik and Matty Russell. Czubik now has two goals for Glossop since joining from Stockport County as he also scored in the victory over Newcastle Town earlier this month.

Runcorn will be no stranger to Matty Holmes, the goalkeeper departed the club in February prior to joining Glossop where in January he picked up Runcorn's player of the month.

Runcorn have won 10 out of their 18 away games this season but come into this fixture without a win in two. A 2-0 defeat at home to Widnes last Monday followed a 0-0 draw away at Trafford. Before then, they had picked up wins against Kendal and Newcastle Town however also lost 2-1 to fellow play-off contenders Ramsbottom.

The reverse fixture at Millbank Linnets Stadium saw an entertaining 2-2 draw although Glossop had been 2-0 up after 32 minutes with goals from Dominic Marie and Pete Boyle. Runcorn scored a penalty in the 84th minute through Louis Corrigan and scored a late, late equaliser in the 93rd minute through Ryan Gibson. Glossop will be looking to win this game, especially since being so close to picking up three points in the reverse fixture.

Please come down and support the lads for one final time this season at Surrey Street.

After the game, the club will be holding our club presentations in the club house. The bar will remain open and we will have words from club management and the chairman, everyone is welcome.
