Crewe FC 2 Warrington Town Res 4.

WARRINGTON Town Reserves came from 2-0 down with only nine men at Crewe FC to reach the semi finals of Cheshire Soccer League's Presidents Cup.

Town's second string will now travel to face Pilkingtons in the semis on Saturday after recording an eighth straight win despite conceding an early goal and seeing midfielder Pithers dismissed for retaliation.

Goalkeeper Perkins was then sent off for a professional foul and Richie Sinker had to go in goal, with the Town captain unable to save the resultant penalty.

Town's semi-final hopes looked over but Lee Dermody scrambled home James Parr's corner to halve the deficit three minutes before half time.

The Yellows then dominated the second half, with Danny Toone equalising after 55 minutes. James Parr turned home Dave Berry's cross to put Town in front 10 minutes later and Dermody scored again to seal the victory.

Town Reserves: Perkins, Parr (Ward), Toone, Hall, Sinker, Berry, Brown, Ellis, Grogan, Dermody (Taylor), Pithers.
