Warrington Town are now nine points adrift from safety after losing 2-0 at home to Scarborough Athletic. Any hope that Saturday’s late equaliser against Chorley might inspire a much needed victory and run of form vanished within a tepid 90 minutes where the Yellows offered little. A new system, with three centre backs and two wing-backs was deployed, but it didn’t have the desired effect as Scarborough found their way round the sides of the Yellows. There was fortune about their opening goal on 26 minutes, Harry Green’s shot blocked by his own man and then the loose ball fell for Richard Bennett to poke home past a wrong-footed Dan Atherton, but it had the feeling of groundhog day once the Yellows went a goal down. Green almost had a goal of his own a minute later when he stretched to get on the end of a dangerous ball in by Luca Colville, who himself should have done better with a free header late in the first half. A double change, including the introduction of skipper Josh Amis, and a tactical switch at half-time was no surprise, and the Yellows finally got a foothold in the game. They came agonisingly close to an equaliser on the hour, Aaron James’ flicked header from Jay Harris cross somehow cleared off the line by Colville chasing back. Moments later, Amis side-footed a glorious chance straight at the ‘keeper after a nice turn and pull back in the box by Matty McDonald. And the Yellows were immediately punished for that miss, Scarborough earning a corner at the other end and Mackenzie Maltby headed home from Colville’s precise corner kick. That killed the game as a contest and Scarborough virtually played a keep ball for the final quarter of the game on another chastening evening at the Cal.Delivery Stadium. | ||||||
