Garforth Town: Not available Warrington Town gained sweet revenge for their 6-0 hammering at Garforth earlier in the season with a thumping 4-0 victory against the Yorkshire outfit at Cantilever Park. The home side bossed the game from start to finish and built up a commanding 3-0 lead by the break. A wonder strike by Anthony Hickey opened the scoring after 18 minutes, with another good strike from Allan Collins doubling the lead four minutes later. Sam Finley saw a deflected effort make it 3-0 on 29 minutes. Another wonder goal, this time from Kyle Hamid with a sweet strike from outside the 18-yard box on the hour, completed the rout. To their credit, the visitors kept going forward, and were almost rewarded when a shot from striker Adam Priestley forced a fine low save from Oldfield, who up until this point, was a mere spectator on events happening at the other end. Warrington should have gone further ahead with twenty six minutes left, Finley receiving a Hickey cross after Higginson flapped but got nowhere near it, only to inexplicably shoot well wide of the target from inside the six yard box. A number of substitutes interrupted the flow of the game, until Town nearly scored with six minutes left, Higginson's kick completing his colleagues back pass, only to scramble back to clear before the lurking Chris Thompson could apply the coup de grace to the scoreline. There was still time for Priestley to test Oldfield once again, with the former Liverpool FC keeper being up to the task, producing another low save. The last action of the game saw full back Louis Corrigan go very close to scoring, his dipping cross cum shot forcing Higginson to palm the ball behind for a corner as he retreated. Town are back in action at Cantilever Park on Tuesday evening when they entertain Prescot Cables, kick off 7.45pm in what will be the fourth clash between the sides this season, with Town victorious in the previous three. | ||||||
