Warrington Town romped to victory beating Claire House Hospice All Stars 6-0 in a pre-season friendly at Cantilever Park , which also saw the reserves clinch a 2-1 win oover New Longton FC from Preston.
The All stars suffered an early blow when ex-Man United star Lee Martin, who won the FA Cup with United against Crystal Palace in 1990, limped off with a ham string injury.
Town also suffered a major blow with last seasons leading scorer Thomas Lamb suffering a groin injury.
The two games were part of a family fun day in aid of Claire House Childrens Hospice and special guests included former Man City star Gary Owen, FA Cup Final referee Joe Worrall, TV presenter Mark Olly and Lord Hoyle, Chairman of Warrington Wolves.
The event was also featured live on Radio Warrington, the town’s community rado station and provided an opportunity for other charities, including Warrington Disability Partnership and the Shannon Bradshaw Trust, to showcase their work in the community.
The club’s new sponsors Johnstone’s Paints also paraded the Football League Trophy.
A full news report and pictures from the event will be updated tomorrow (Monday).
