NT League Cup Final

Sun 6th May 2012

TOWN 4  : FC United of Manchester 1

Scorers: James Daniels, James Anderson, Dylan Glass (2)

Warrington Town's youth team celebarted a thrilling 4-1 league cup victory over FC United of Manchester at Salford, lifting silverware in their first competative season.

Two goals from James Daniels gave the young Wire a 2-1 half time advantage with second half efforts from Dylan Glass and James Anderson cementing a memorable victory in front of a sizeable crowd at Salford City.

It rounded off a fine first season for manager Chris Wells' team which has provided a number of players for the first team squad throughout the season.

The margin of victory could have been even greater had Glass not squandered an opportunity in front of goal with Oliver Wells also seeing a fine strike well saved by the United keeper.

In a tough physical encounter Warrington lost skipper George Emson, who was forced to limp off after a strong challenge but he hobbled back at the end of the game to lift the cup and celebrate with his team mates.

United were much fancied before kick off as the existing league champions, who have won through to three cup finals this season but Warrington stood up to the challenge, emerging with great credit to lift the Neil Thomason Cup.

Warrington Town Team:

Vaughan, Kavanagh, Corcoran, Emson (Cook 20'), Everson, Winrow, Wells, Daniels, Glass, Bakkor (Chambers 65'), Anderson (McWilliams 85')

HT: 3 : 0

Scorer: Dylan Glass (Happy Birthday!)

Young Wire side heavily beaten by play off chasers

A young Town side, featuring 10 players who have played for the reserve team this season, travelled to play off chasing Lancaster City, who knew that they had to beat Town by at least four goals and hope that results elsewhere went in their favour, if they were to make a play off place.

Dylan Glass runs in and beats his marker with a fantastic well-timed run and Olympian leap!
