A snapshot of the Club History:-
Ahead of the 2005/06 season, the club changed their name to Runcorn Town in order to try and bring a more professional look to the club in general, and hopefully increase support from both businesses and individuals in the local community. A decision was also made to try and improve facilities at the club with a view to joining the North West Counties League.
Although progressing off the pitch, the team had mixed fortunes on it. The youth team finished third in the league and won the league cup. The reserves adapted well to WCL2 and the first team got off to a good start by winning the Bill Weight Memorial Cup.
The Runcorn Cup was added but on the final day of the season, Town slipped into the relegation places for the first time to suffer a heartbreaking relegation. To make matters worse, although the reserves finished 6th in WCL2, they were also relegated as clubs cannot have more than one team in each division.
Town quickly regrouped and bounced back by winning the WCL2 for the first time in the clubs' history. The reserves also had a new look team with the club disbanding the youth team and "merging" it with the reserves, and despite most of the team playing open aged football for the first time, finished in sixth place in the league.
The 2007/08 season was probably the most successful in the clubs' history, with the team opening the season by sharing the Bill Weight Cup with West Kirby after a thrilling 3-3 draw in the Final. The club also won the Runcorn Cup, were runners up in the Pyke Cup, and finished third in the league, the clubs' highest ever finish. The reserves were disappointed to finish third in the league, but won the West Cheshire Shield.
The following two seasons saw Town continue to push for honours with both the first team and reserves registering top four finishes. Off the field, the transformation of the ground continued with floodlights installed for the first time.
The summer of 2010 saw the club again take a massive step forward. The first team were elected to join the North West Counties Football League (NWCFL) and entered the FA Vase and Cheshire Senior Cup for the first time. In their first season the club achieved promotion to the NWFCL Premier Division as well as reaching the Last 32 of the FA Vase.
The reserves were also in new territory having joined the Cheshire League, whilst the club also reintroduced the youth team who played in the West Cheshire Youth League. The first steps into junior football were also undertaken with an Under 12's team joining the Halton & District Junior League. This has further been expanded upon with the introduction of an Under 9's for the 2011/12 season.
