* WARRINGTON Town Reserves lost 3-2 in the Peace Cup game against Crewe United in Ireland at the weekend.

An own goal put Town ahead after two minutes but Crewe led 3-1 by the break after some poor defensive mistakes by the visitors.

Warrington tightened up and took charge of the second half but Dylan Glass’ 64th-minute strike was their only reward.
