Well that was some game!! Thrilling play, lots of fabulous goals, passion, sending off and overall a great display and a result - and this time Runcorn Linnets were decent opposition so no doubts cast like on Boxing day.

You can really see this team developing and growing and despite Ben Harrison’s first half injury, they gritted teeth when they had to and flexed their muscles when they had chance. Amazing second goal and can’t wait for the highlights!!

Magnificent game of football today, with Witton the deserved winners.

Duckworth, Hughes and Rokka were formidable - and in front of Albion goalscoring royalty in Karl Thomas, Mike Moseley and Rob Hopley!

A great performance and a deserved win. The entire team put in a shift and a half and are now getting the results that their play deserves. We can and will make the play offs if we continue to play with such determination. UTA

Fk** brilliant again. Exciting to watch, fantastic goals and a great crowd. Northwich is RED!
Ducko was my MOM but all played well. Where was Cam Fogerty?

When the team was announced initially Cameron Fogerty was named but it was only during the game, that Simmo tweeted that Sam Billington had started in place of Cameron but not heard why he was missing.

Cracking game and very big win, our lads were top notch and can’t argue with Duckworth mom.

We are really good to watch now and we were missing Haywood and Fogerty! We are sniffing for the play offs and in current form why not!

It would be good to see current form tables. UTA

Still buzzing from yesterday’s game, the team is gelling well now team spirit is unbelievable.

I was concerned when Ben went off but the lads just got on with it. Hoping this is the start of something big for Witton’s future. Well done guys. :+1:
