OUR town has had its fair share of Wembley moments in recent times.

Now, alongside the likes of Lee Briers, Brett Hodgson and Daryl Clark you can add Elliott Nevitt, Dave McNabb and others among the list of heroes to bring glory to Warrington.

Having come through nine rounds to get to this stage, it rarely seemed in doubt that Warrington Rylands would make it a perfect 10 and head back up the M1 with the FA Vase safely in their possession.

Even when they needed a goal in a grandstand final 20 minutes, the Binfield barrage never came thanks in no small part to another controlled, calm display by the boys in blue.

The way they played – save for a slightly shaky start – epitomised the way they have moved through the later stages of this tournament.

In each of the past four rounds including this one, they have dictated the pace of their games and when their moments came, they have had the quality to seize them.

Doing that in more familiar surroundings is hard enough, but on the biggest stage sport in this country has to offer? That is simply sensational.

They completely deserved to be the ones spraying champagne at the end and that is in no way a slight on Binfield, who more than played their part in what was a superb advert for non-league football on its big day out under the famous arch.

It feels wrong to pick out individuals in what was a true team effort, but Rylands’ front three were quite fantastic in their work.

Ste Milne’s pace and exceptional movement pulled the Moles centre backs all over Wembley while Kane Drummond teased and tantalised on the right hand side.

And then, there was Elliott Nevitt.

His display will come as no surprise to regular watchers of Warrington Rylands – his combination of lethal finishing, express pace and brutish power have become a staple of their rise since he arrived from City of Liverpool.

Now, he has shown what he can do on a national stage and his hat-trick was no less than he deserved.

The last player to score three goals in a game on this famous turf? Only Harry Kane… The last time it was done in an FA Vase Final? Well you’d half to go all the way back to 1979 for that.

At 21, Nevitt has his whole footballing career in front of him but if it gets any better than this, it will be some going.

Behind him, Charlie Doyle was typically industrious while Joe Coveney at the base of the midfield ended up with two assists, including the calm header to set up Nevitt’s opener.

Warren Gerrard was in the right place at the right time to clear twice off the line while Graeme McCall – so often the hero of this run – made a critical point-blank save with the score at 3-1.

Combined, Binfield never looked like mounting the all-out assault the tight scoreline almost promised – indeed Rylands may have felt they should have added to their tally.

The nervy finish never really materialised and the sight of McNabb collapsing to his knees at full time shows the emotion behind this truly special campaign.

The celebrations will be long but it is a measure of the Blues boss that his thoughts turned to their one true target set when this season started.

He knows the jump to the Northern Premier League will be a big one and now they are making it as FA Vase holders, there will be a target on their backs.

Given how they have risen to every challenge put in front of them so far, however, what is to stop them doing so again?

That is a worry for another day, however. For now, they will rightly enjoy this momentous achievement.

This was not just a victory for the 11 on the field and those around them, but for the club as a whole.

For the volunteers who worked round the clock this week to sell 1,500 tickets on a few days’ notice. For the juniors who wear the blue shirt with pride. For everyone who is on the journey with this burgeoning football club.

They have done their part to put football in a rugby-dominated town on the map.

This high will be tough to beat, but the Warrington Rylands journey is just beginning.
