Warrington's match report
WARRINGTON Town came from behind to beat FC United 2-1 and progress to the next round of the FA Cup.
Skipper Mark Roberts headed the winner 20 minutes from time after Mitch Duggan had quickly responded to FC United’s first half opener through Regan Linney.
It puts the Yellows in to the hat for the third qualifying round draw on Monday, just two wins away from the FA Cup first round proper.
In a wonderfully open cup tie, the Yellows would have the first shot on target inside two minutes, a low drive from Scott Sephton comfortably saved by Patrick Wharton.
Both sides required regular interventions from defenders in the opening quarter, Ben Garrity regularly getting in behind for the Yellows to cause problems, his marauding run on 12 minutes resulting in him opening his body up for a right foot shot that was well saved by the feet of Wharton.
Tunde Owolabi was the source of FC United’s main threat down the left hand side, though it was a header from him off a Mike Potts free-kick that should have resulted in more, in the end cleared by Steve Jennings close to the line.
After Tony Gray dragged a shot wide, FC United were given the chance to take the lead from the penalty spot. The Yellows failed to clear their lines and a poor header by Mitch Duggan put them under pressure, and Regan Linney went down over a trailing Dave Raven leg in the box and the referee had no choice but to point to the spot.
Linney stepped up and though Tony McMillan went the right way, it was too well struck and the hosts led.
Their lead was shortlived though, two minutes later a free-kick was headed out only as far as Duggan, who struck a superb half-volley in to the bottom corner for 1-1.
That really opened the game up, and on one FC United attack, no fewer than four separate Yellows defenders had to make diving blocks inside the box.
Owolabi continued to cause problems, his cross headed just over by Craig Carney, who then had a chance when he sneaked in to beat the offside trap, McMillan quickly out of his goal to save with his legs.
McMillan also saved well to deny Linney moments later after FC United broke following a Yellows attack where Garrity got in behind but shot straight at Wharton.
An almost breathless first half ended at 1-1 with Alex Byrne scuffing a shot wide after his free-kick was only half-cleared.
Jack Dunn made his first appearance of the season coming off the bench for Matty Chadwick at half time, but his stint was short-lived – forced off injured just 15 minutes later, though not before he had narrowly missed with a free kick from the edge of the box.
There wasn’t much in the way of chances in the second half as both sides flagged.
And it took Warrington’s king of assists, Byrne, to create the winner, his corner flicked on by Garrity for skipper Mark Roberts to head home his third goal of the season from point blank range at the far post with 20 minutes to go.
The hosts couldn’t carve out any sort of opening in the final quarter, and though McMillan had to save well in the six minutes of injury time to deny Aaron Morris on the turn, the Yellows were well worth their win in the end.
The two sides meet again on Tuesday night in the league at Cantilever Park.
FC United: Wharton, Morris, Dodd, Doyle, Dean, Jones, Rodney, Potts (Lenehan), Owolabi, Linney (Sharp), Carney (Donohue). Subs: Hellawell, Blackledge, Joyce, Belford

Re: FC UNITED v Warrington Town. 3pm Saturday, 21st September 2019 (FA Cup 2QR)
FC United crashed out of the Emirates FA Cup after suffering a 2-1 home defeat to Warrington Town at Broadhurst Park ?on Saturday afternoon?.
Despite taking the lead through a Regan Linney penalty, the Reds found themselves on the wrong end of the three goal split thanks to a quick equaliser from Mitch Duggan and a second half gift for Connor Roberts.
As the old cliché goes, it simply was a game of two halves. The first half being a competitive cup tie with both teams looking dangerous and fired up to get through to the next round, and the second being a much slower game where the Reds never really got into the swing of things.
FC took the lead after just 26 minutes when Craig Carney was brought down in the box, before Linney fired home his spot-kick to open the scoring.
It didn’t take the visitors long to draw level though and within two minutes a sublime strike left FC ‘keeper Paddy Wharton with no chance as Duggan levelled things up.
Both teams had chances to take the lead before the break with the most notable for FC being a strike from Tunde Owolabi which was blocked before he and captain Mike Potts got in each other’s way to see the joint effort go flying over the bar and deep into the terrace on the St Mary’s Road End.
In the second half the performance from FC became a bit fatigued and lackadaisical, with chances being very much at a premium. In such a close game, where nothing was being created it was always a feeling that an error could decide things. That error wasn’t one specific event, but the FC defence was poor in picking up men in the box and as the ball came to Roberts inside the six yard box, it was a gift that he was never going to reject.
The visiting side ran down the clock with some fine examples of gamesmanship and time management, but the truth is FC didn’t really deserve to take much away from what was a closely contested game. Reno’s men have an immediate shot at retribution as they take their current league run of four games without defeat to Warrington ?on Tuesday evening?.
Report by Craig Phillips
and report from the Warrington Guardian
FIRST and foremost, this was an enthralling FA Cup tie.
Wonderfully open and played at high intensity, each of the near 1,300 in attendance got their money’s worth.
The fact these two will meet again in the BetVictor Northern Premier Division on Tuesday night can only be a treat for the neutral.
In terms of the cup though, and the financial rewards it can provide, it is Warrington who creep ever closer to the main draw.
> 'It had a bit of everything' - Yellows boss on their FA Cup victory
They have made a habit of thriving in front of big crowds and in front of another one at Broadhurst Park, they did so again as their superior composure won them the game.
Warrington Guardian:
What it means to score an FA Cup winner - Mark Roberts celebrates. Picture by John Hopkins
Yellows may have ceded a lot of possession, but they were finding plenty of space and encouragement going forward.
FC were struggling to pick up Tony Gray’s ghost-like movement while Ben Garrity was thriving on charging into the spaces he left ahead of him.
Town’s midfield dynamo has more pace than he is given credit for and it got him in behind the home defence plenty of times – his efforts should have yielded at least one goal.
At the other end, FC’s tactic was clear – hit the channels early to utilise their mobile front three of Tunde Owolabi, Regan Linney and Nialle Rodney.
The former of that trio in particular was causing Mitch Duggan plenty of problems with his pace and power, encouraged by the constant chorus of home support from behind the goal.
It was Linney who manufactured their opening goal however – Dave Raven offered no complaints as referee Richard Eley adjudged him to have tripped the striker in the box and while Tony McMillan got a hand to the penalty, Linney was left celebrating.
Those celebrations lasted just two minutes, though, as Duggan escaped from his trial by pace to crash in a superb long-ranger to level matters.

Both keepers were well-employed in a first half that could conceivably have ended with many more goals – a sign of what a raucous, open game this was.
Jack Dunn could not have scripted a better game for his first back from injury – the wide, open spaces would have suited him down to the ground.
However, after just 15 minutes, down he went again and his race was run – a real shame for a man who can turn a game in an instant but has been plagued by injuries.
FC were still threatening in attack, but now they were being supported by their industrious midfield who were starting to dominate the second balls.
Still, that did not mean they could afford to switch off at a set piece.
They did, and Yellows made them pay.
Garrity – always such a threat in dead-ball situations – flicked on expertly and Mark Roberts could hardly miss.

That succeeded in quietening the Red Rebel choir and the life seemed to drain from their team.
It would have been easy for Town to slip into preservation mode, but far from it. If anything, they had the clearer chances after taking the lead as FC lacked punch.
