WARRINGTON Town created their own St Valentine’s Day massacre as they bombed Lancaster City’s play-off hopes with a resounding 4-0 victory at Cantilever Park.
Leading 1-0 at the break thanks to an early strike by Rob Hardwick,(pictured top) Town completely dominated the second half with further goals from Dale Wright, Lee Madin (pictured right) and a screamer from River Humphreys as he volleyed home from just inside the box to complete a memorable victory.
The win extended Warrington’s unbeaten run to six games since the turn of the year, making them one of the form teams in the league.
Similar performances at home to Mossley on Saturday and Bamber Bridge next Tuesday evening could see Town in the play-off mix.
A delighted manager Joey Dunn said after the game: “That was a great team performance but we are not getting carried away and just taking one game at a time.”
With the game safe late on Dunn, took the chance to give a debut to two youth team players, striker James Anderson, and midfielder Dylan Glass, who is the son of former Town winger Danny Glass, were introduced in place of Rob Hardwick and Liam Shipton.
