Subs not used: Mick O'Donnell. WARRINGTON Town ran out of steam at the New Shay against promotion favourites Halifax Town but they did not deserve to be on the wrong end of a 4-1 scoreline. With the scores level 1-1 at the break Town started the second half the better team but ended up on the wrong end of some dubious refereeing decisions. Halifax started the brighter, scoring after just seven minutes through Nicky Gray. But as the game progressed Warrington got a foot hold and it was no surprise when Mike Grogan (pictured right) headed home the equaliser on 36 minutes after a fine cross from Phil Hadland. On 53 minutes Jimmy McCarthy had a great chance to give Town the lead when he collected the ball from a short corner and jinked his way through the home defence only to fire wide. Then on 57 minutes it all started to go wrong as the referee awarded Halifax a dubious free kick on the edge of the box which Tom Baker rifled home into the far corner giving keeper Richie Mottram no chance. On 74 minutes Darren Kinsey (pictured below) was adjudged to have handled inside the box when it appeared to be more a case of ball to arm and although Mottram (pictured top) denied Scott Phelan with a fine diving save, the momentum was now with the home side. Two minutes later Ryan Crossley headed home from a corner to make it 3-1 and then eight minutes from time substitute Mark Peers showed a clean pair of heels to the tiring Town defence to put the game out of reach at 4-1. | ||||||
