Town's fab five!

2


WARRINGTON Town continued their rich vein of form as they made it four wins in a row with a thumping 5-0 victory over Garforth Town at Cantilever Park.
The visitors almost took the lead in the 11th minute when centre forward Andy Hayward blasted against the bar but it was Warrington who took the lead on the half hour when Mick O’Donnell calmly slotted the ball in the bottom corner after a nice back heeled flick by Jimmy McCarthy created the opening.
Warrington made it two just before the break when a McCarthy inswinger was slotted into the open net by Chris Gaghan.
Garforth took a gamble pushing forward in the second half but it was clearly never going to be their day when Duncan Williams found himself clean through one on one with the keeper but blasted over the bar in the 73rd minute.
Warrington responded and made the game safe in the 80th minute with route one football as keeper Ritchie Mottram’s long clearance was collected by McCarthy who crossed to Gaghan, who flicked the ball to substitute Rob Dutton, who buried the ball in the back of the net.
Two minutes from time Dutton danced his way passed two defenders before calmly placing the ball in the back of the net and then in injury time substitute Francis Smith, with his first touch of the ball sweetly volleyed into the back of the net to complete the scoring.
Town manager Joey Dunn, who was celebrating his first match in charge after being elevated from caretaker boss, said: “We have been threatening to do that to someone for a while now. We were still disappointing for the opening 3o minutes of the second half but you can’t really complain when you win five nil!”
