Dominant Mossley miss out

NON-LEAGUE FOOTBALL: MOSSLEY earned their first point of the Evo-Stik League Division One North campaign courtesy of a 1-1 draw with Warrington Town at Seel Park.

Ben Richardson gave the Lilywhites the lead after eight minutes when he collected Chris Rowney's pass and curled the ball into the net from 20 yards.

Shaun Higgins’ men dominated and missed a number of chances.

And they were made to pay with 16 minutes of the match remaining. Chris Gahgan headed home from close range.

Higgins rued the wasted chances but was pleased with the contribution of Gianluca Havern (21), the centre-back released by Stockport County.

Mossley host Radcliffe Borough tomorrow (7.45pm).
