Vauxhall: Not available WARRINGTON Town Captain Mike Tomlinson is pictured receiving the October UniBond First North Division Fair Play award, a 1.5 litre bottle of Famous Grouse Whiskey from UniBond League Representative Gareth Davies, watched by manager Joey Dunn, prior to Town’s 3-4 defeat to Vauxhall Motors in the Cheshire Senior Cup last night . Tailing 2-0 at half time and going 3-0 down early in the second half, Town almost pulled off an amazing fight back against their higher league opposition. The second half needed a quick response from Town but in fact they went further behind as a looping shot that took a slight deflection lifted the ball over goal keeper Baker for a 3-0 lead for the visitors. Town renewed some hope for the ever vociferous barmy army when Tony Evans turned to shoot home from close range following a goal mouth scramble off a corner. It would not last long though as a clumsy challenge by Tom Hardwick saw a penalty awarded to Vauxhall when there was little immiediate threat. Baker pushed the penalty onto the post but was unable to stop the rebound being slotted home into a now almost unguarded net. Town’s never say die attitude started to pay dividends and a sharp passing move saw a break culminating in Chris Gahgan firing home for Town’s best goal of the night. A couple of minutes later and it was game on as Gahgan doubled his tally to take the scores to 3-4 with twelve minutes remaining. Warrington continued to push and some desperate Vauxhall defending saw a goal ward shot blocked but other than that they were unable to break down the Conference North side’s defence for a fourth time. Warrington may have lost the game but no one could complain about the entertainment value. After the game manager Joey Dunn said: “It is a shame we had a slow start because we really took the game to them in the second half. “They know they have been in a game and we were unlucky not to get soemthing out of it in the end.” Warrington now face a crucial league game at Lancaster on Saturday, one of their main challengers for a place in the play offs at the end of the season. | ||||||
