WARRINGTON Town ‘s bid to defend the League Cup they won last season has been rained off at Ramsbottom for a second consecutive week.
A waterlogged pitch means the game has been postponed again – and it is hoped it will be third time lucky next Tuesday, November 24.
Town won the trophy at Stockport’s Edgeley Park at the end of last season following a penalty shoot-out victory over Farsley.
That came in a season remembered for a run in the FA Cup, but it’s in the FA Trophy that Shaun Reid’s side have made most progress this season, Saturday’s 3-0 win over Basford United putting them in the third qualifying round.
Warrington, who have only lost three games in all competitions this season, have not conceded a goal in four games since losing to Burscough last month.
FA Cup hero, Skipper Craig Robinson (pictured) had been hoping for a return to action after losing his place through injury and being on the bench the past few weeks.
