Tuesday's First Division North action review

By David Watters

Warrington Town

Warrington Town defeated Radcliffe Borough late on at the Abacus Solicitors Community Stadium on Tuesday night to move to sixth in the Evo-Stik Northern Premier League First Division North table, writes Pitchero's Steve Whitney.

The hosts started strongly as Phil Doran went close with a long range effort in the early stages. Town had the best of the first half possession but the two teams went in all-square at the break. In the second period, Radcliffe came close to opening the scoring but the conditions saved Warrington as a muddy goalmouth and goalkeeper Andy Robertson did enough to deny the visitors.

Then, with just three minutes remaining, Ciaran Kilheeney found a yard of space in the box and hit a left-footed shot that proved too strong for James Coates in the Boro goal to win the game for the Wire.

Another late goal earned Burscough a share of the spoils at the Giant Axe against Lancaster City.

Jake Simpson scored his first goal for the Dolly Blues with a curled effort after three minutes before Dave Swarbrick's ferocious 40-yard effort doubled City's tally on 34 minutes. Will Jones pulled one back for the visitors just past the hour-mark before the comeback was completed with five minutes remaining when Paul Williams netted.
