Runcorn finished their inaugural season as runners-up, losing out on the league title to Winsford United on goal difference, and won promotion to the First Division.

In the 2008–09 season Linnets entered the FA Cup for the first time, winning their first game 3–2 at home to Rossington Main on 17 August 2008.

In the 2022–23 season Runcorn made it to the Liverpool Senior Cup final where they once again lost to Marine on penalties at the DCBL Stadium after a 0–0 draw in front of 2,651 fans.

The club had been in discussion with Riverside College about leasing a plot of land at the Runcorn Campus, but this proposal was rejected.

The next plan involved a move to Halton Sports in Murdishaw, Runcorn for the start of the 2010–11 season, and this has now been completed, largely due to the backing of the local council.

The club's aims were to build a ground that would meet the Northern Premier League standard, together with a Community centre which would be used as the clubhouse on matchdays.
