Warrington & District League, Division Three
Penketh United 2 Widnes Dragons 2 (att 7)
Not much choice of games tonight, which is my best excuse for watching a game in the fourth tier of the Warrington League. Premier Division football in this league is of a decent standard, but on tonight's evidence the same can't be said of Division Three.
That said it wasn't a bad game. The first half wasn't up to much, low key and played at a rather pedestrian pace, but things picked up from the 58th minute when Widnes Dragons went ahead. Penketh equalised, thanks to an own goal, before a spot kick restored the visitors' lead. Penketh missed a great chance to level when they missed a penalty, but a late free kick, in off the post, earned them a deserved draw.
Penketh play at Morley Common, on the southern fringe of Warrington, a ground that's been used by various teams over the years. It's a public park with changing rooms and four pitches, and an impressive backdrop of the adjacent chemical works.
