Padiham notched up their second league win in a row on Saturday as they claimed a well-deserved 3-0 North West Counties League Premier Division success over in-form Runcorn Linnets at The Arbories on Saturday.

A goal up on 16 minutes when Joel Melia and Kieron Fletcher combined to release Nathan Egan, who tucked his short past Richard Mottram.

Storks doubled the lead on 41 minutes when Fkletcher curled in an edge of the box shot.

Padiham made the points safe just after the hour when Jamie Trainor headed in a Shaun Carey cross to make it 3-0.
