At the end of the 1900β01 season, the top seven clubs in each of the county leagues decided to break away and form a single division, and Runcorn, after finishing in 3rd position, were among this group of clubs.

Runcorn had a very poor return for their efforts finishing in 23rd out of 24 (1915β16), 22nd out of 26 (1916β17) and 21st out of 22 (1917β18). In these three seasons, Runcorn struggled, winning only five matches out of 51.

Leading up to the "Great Schism", twelve of the top

In 1906β07, Runcorn finished in 3rd position, their highest placing for several years, and a position, which history would show, was the start of a rapid decline in the clubβs playing fortunes. Although in 1907, Runcorn defeated the New
