Late, late goal denies nine-man Lilywhites

NON-LEAGUE FOOTBALL: NINE-MAN Mossley were pegged back to a 1-1 draw at Warrington Town deep into stoppage time in Evo-Stik League Division One North.

Lilywhites player-manager Steve Halford was able to name an unchanged starting line up for the first time since he took over. The only changes coming among the substitutes with Dave Young and Steven Yarwood replacing Ben Fallows and Mike Jones.

The visitors had a goal ruled out after half-an-hour, Halford heading home only to be penalised for a push.

But they did go in front a minute before the break, Tom Denton nodding in at the far post after good work from Ben Richardson.

With 20 minutes of the game remaining, Keil O’Brien saw red for a mis-timed tackle, and 10 minutes later Cavell Coo was given his marching orders along with Warrington’s Michael Duffy after both players stretched for a tackle.

The Lilywhites looked set to hang on for the win until the fifth minute of added time, when substitute Dylan Glass netted from long range.

Late goals from Tom Hughes (86) and Chris Pauley (90) cancelled out strikes from Town’s Stuart Airdrie (69) and Aaron Hollindrake (79).

But Bill Williams struck in the 118th minute and it proved to be the winner.
