Fife Rangers v Cronton Villa

6.30pm  30 April 2013

Warrington and District League, Premier Division
Fife Rangers 4 Cronton Villa 2 (att 11)

Last year Fife Rangers won promotion to the Warrington League's top division, but it's been a tough debut season at the higher level.

Even with this win they're destined to remain bottom, but having drawn at the weekend half of their season's haul of eight points have been earned in the last four days.

In this game they established a two goal lead in the first 30 minutes, but when Cronton pulled one back before half time, and equalised soon into the second half, another defeat for Fife looked likely.

But, just as it seemed a matter of time before Cronton went ahead, Fife stepped up a gear and edged back in front. A fourth goal, 10 minutes from time, gave the home side an unassailable lead, despite Cronton's best efforts.

According to their website, Fife Rangers take their name from the street in Warrington - Fife Road - where they were founded, rather than any link to Scotland. They play in the Fearnhead area of Warrington, where a portable building provides changing rooms adjacent to the roped off pitch.
